Hi Johannes,


I use SableCC ( http://sablecc.org ) along Andrew Appel's book "Modern
Compiler Implementation in Java".


Etienne
P.S.: Of course, I am biased towards SableCC; but I sincerely think it
presents a much cleaner separation of generated vs programmer-written
code within a very nice OO framework for developing interpreters and
compilers. I've had much success with it in my classes.
