Need to develop a compiler "source to source".

I need to develop a (complex) compiler that translate from an
high-level source - given the (e)bnf, quite long... - to another
high-level source. I know there are dozens of apps, but I'm asking
which one would be better, in your opinion.


The points are:
*) need to translate from high-level to high-level using a free
product
*) need to produce a compiler in a portable format (i.e. to obtain
something in Java o C++)
*) possibly to have a kind of ready-made IDE: one should be able to
have an IDE where can type the source, then select from a menu
"translate" and obtain the new source (this is a minor point, but I'd
like to hear suggestions of a customizable IDE where I could embed the
generated compiler).
*) I'd like an IDE for me too (so to focus on the (e)bnf and
translations and not on code) for the developing phase.


Thank you.
