I missed the start of this thread, so I don't know whether anyone else
has mentioned Jack, which is currently undergoing an official name
change to the Java Compiler Compiler, aka JavaCC, due to some lawyerly
concerns. As part of the name change, the URL for it is supposed to
become http://www.suntest.com/JavaCC/ sometime soon, but at the moment
that isn't working yet, so for now you'll need to use
http://www.suntest.com/Jack/ instead.


The design of Jack is influenced by PCCTS. I haven't acquired any
real experience with it, but it looks reasonable and those on its
mailing list with more experience are singing its praises. Of course,
it only does you any good if you are interested in working in Java!
