I recommend ANTLR which is actively mained by Terrence Parr, and
has a very active support group on the mailing list. Go to antlr.org.
There's also a great book The Complete Guide to ANTLR by Prof Parr.
It generates LL(*) parsers, with control over backtracking, which
gives it great expressive power, but less than GLR.
