The name of the parser: Java

The command line you used to run ctags: --options=NONE -o - /tmp/e.java

The content of input file:

public enum e {
    A
};

The tags output you are not satisfied with:

A	/tmp/e.java	/^    A$/;"	e	enum:e	file:
e	/tmp/e.java	/^public enum e {$/;"	g

The tags output you expect:

A	/tmp/e.java	/^    A$/;"	e	enum:e
e	/tmp/e.java	/^public enum e {$/;"	g

The version of ctags:

I think file: field is not needed for A. How do you think? I'm working on peg based new Java parser. I will fix this in the new parser.

@masatake Out of curiosity, are you still working on a new PEG-based Java parser?

[masatake]

PEG based Java parser is too slow. So I'm writing new Jara parser from scratch now.

A cotributor submitted a typescript parser. So I have taken time for merging it. TypeScript is very special exception. So many people want it. Rewriting Java and Ruby parsers have still high priority in my mind because I myself want to use in daily job.
