Hi,


Does anyone have a working yacc/bison grammar for the full java language?


I've been tinkering away at one for a few days, but have hit a roadblock:


When adding 'Type . class' to 'PrimaryNoNewArray' [1], I end up with 10
shift/reduce and 2 reduce/reduce conflicts, and most java sources fail
to parse.


But when I remove this, I only have 4 shift/reduce conflicts, and nearly
all sources parse successfully (except those with 'Type . class'
expressions.


I don't want to battle any longer, in case someone has already solved
the issues and is willing to share their work.


Cheers
EB
