[Java] Enum CompilePhase

public enum CompilePhase
extends Enum

The phases of the GroovyCompiler. This is an enum facade on top of the Phases object. In general, prefer using this object over Phases.

Enum constants classes
Enum constant	Description
`CANONICALIZATION`	Complete building the AST
`CLASS_GENERATION`	creates the binary output in memory
`CONVERSION`	An abstract syntax tree (AST) is created from token trees
`FINALIZATION`	Perform any last cleanup
`INITIALIZATION`	source files are opened and environment configured
`INSTRUCTION_SELECTION`	instruction set is chosen, for example java5 or pre java5
`OUTPUT`	write the binary output to the file system
`PARSING`	the grammar is used to to produce tree of tokens representing the source code
`SEMANTIC_ANALYSIS`	Performs consistency and validity checks that the grammar can't check for, and resolves classes

Fields
Modifiers	Name	Description
`static CompilePhase[]`	`phases`	The phases as an array, with a null entry.
