OpenGrok records definition

[thaliaatallahh]

Hello team,

We have an OpenGrok deployment where Java records are now widely used, and we need proper support for indexing and navigating record definitions in the UI. Currently, we could not find a way to do so in OpenGrok.
Is there currently a way, or any plan, to support proper record definitions in OpenGrok?

Please let us know if you need any clarification or if you recommend an alternative approach to handle this use case.

Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
Thalia

Hello @thaliaatallah,

I would like to work on this issue.

I will first investigate how Java record definitions are currently parsed and indexed in OpenGrok, then check whether record declarations, constructors, and components can be added to the navigation and definition lookup flow similarly to classes and methods.

If there is no ongoing work already, I can prepare a fix and submit a PR for review.
