Jackal Compiler Plugin

What does it do?

The Jackal Compiler Plugin integrates the Jackal macro language directly into the Java compiler. It quickly expands Jackal macros before continuing the rest of the compiler's pipeline.

How do I use it?

Simply include it as a compiler plugin in your build file!

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "zenith-artifactory"
        url = uri("https://artifactory.zenithstudios.dev/artifactory/jackal-compiler-plugin")
    }
}

dependencies {
    annotationProcessor("me.redot.jackal:compiler-plugin:1.0-SNAPSHOT")

tasks.withType<JavaCompile> {
    options.compilerArgs.add("-Xplugin:Jackal")
