---------------------------------------

Hi Robert, that was an alternattive way to fix the precommit Task by a more 
intelligent approach.

In general my current problem is:
I don't want to setup a fixed JFlex on Jenkins, I want to download it with IVY, 
so before resolving this issue we should have a JFlex version available. If 
[~steve_rowe] is not able to relaese the version on Maven, we should maybe fork 
jflex on Google Code and make a release including the ANT task.

The second problem in: Moman - I dont want to have Mercurial (hg) on Jenkins, 
this makes the setup much worse. Python on Windows is terrible already.

Ideally, the sources generated by Python should be converted to a ant <script> 
task using jython. This would make setup easier.
                
> Builds should regenerate all generated sources

> We have more and more sources that are generated programmatically (query 
> parsers, fuzzy levN tables from Moman, packed ints specialized decoders, 
> etc.), and it's dangerous because developers may directly edit the generated 
> sources and forget to edit the meta-source.  It's happened to me several 
> times ... most recently just after landing the BlockPostingsFormat branch.
> I think we should re-gen all of these in our builds and fail the build if 
> this creates a difference.  I know some generators (eg JavaCC) embed 
> timestamps and so always create mods ... we can leave them out of this for 
> starters (or maybe post-process the sources to remove the timestamps) ...
