What is your opinion on using JavaCC in teaching?

I consider using JavaCC as an example in my compiler construction
course, effectively replacing flex/bison.

While the "classical" tools are well covered in standard textbooks,
is there similar coverage for JavaCC somewhere? .

Any pointers and comments appreciated (especially from teachers).

Best regards, J. Waldmann.
