I like ANTLR more than Flex/Bison because it's really object oriented
and at least it's predecessor produced human readable code.

You might take a look at
http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/


They have a compiler-compiler available with source code, which they
used to implement Jikes a really impressive Java compiler.
Can't say a alot about it, but at least Jikes is fast and supports
incremental compilation which might be pretty cool for syntax
coloring.
