## xdoclet.template
Class TemplateParser

    java.lang.Object
      xdoclet.template.TemplateEngine
          xdoclet.template.TemplateParser

public class TemplateParser
extends TemplateEngine

Subclass of Template Engine that do not generate anything but only parse the document. The TagHandlers have a callback entry to this method to set in it anything they want to. This class was introduced for parsing .j files and return a list of merge files needed for the generation. The timestamp checking can then verify all files involved in a generation and bypass the generation if -nothing has changed-.
