I've been looking for a Java grammar, and found
http://home.inreach.com/bronikov/grammars/java.html - which looks very
good on first sight, but isn't *quite* correct...


For example, the lexer has
AnyButSlash [^\/]
AnyButAstr [^\*]
Comment1 [\/][\*]({AnyButAstr}|[\*]{AnyButSlash})*[\*][\/]
for a multi-line comment, which doesn't match
/**
**/
There are also other bugs, which may be easy to fix - for an
expert - but I'm not and I have a hard time making it work...


The page is quite old ((c) 1998) - I'm not sure to what extent
it's even maintained... Are there any newer versions of this
grammar floating around?
