[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-269) Parser to be stricter with newlines

Dirk Bergstrom commented on JBRULES-269:
----------------------------------------

I think it would be quite reasonable to require that rule, when, then & end be on their own lines.  It would enforce a modicum of clarity, and avoid "goddam keyword collisions", as noted elsewhere.

I have no objection to enforcing column positions, but then again I like Python.

> In otherwords, newlines are required I believe in the following scenarious:
> before a when, 
> after a when before the LHS
> before a then
> after a then before then RHS
> before an end (at the end of the rule).
> when,then, end - should all appear on a line by themselves.
> Optionally (perhaps?) rule should always be at the start of a newline.
> on a similar note, should rule and end be at the start of a newline? (don't really want to have to enforce column positions - but it is kind of needed).
