Hello,


I'm looking for a parser generator which meets the following requirements


1) LALR


2) Generates a parser in Java.


3) The generator itself (as opposed to just the generated code) must run
cross platform (ie, probably be java).


4) The generated code and any support libraries must be explitly usable
in commercial software. Unfortunately, our legal department has deemed
even the Lesser GPL unacceptable. I guess that means I'm looking for
either something commercial or something in the public domain.


5) This one's not absolutely necasarry but it would be great if the tool
supported the generation of some kind of an intermediate form (parse
tree?) rather than just allowing embedded actions in the rules.


I've spent quite some time searching the web but most everything I can
find is either open source or a windows tool. If anyone has any
recommendations I'd love to hear about them. Thanks in advance.
