Hi all,


Ideas, opinions, suggestions welcome and appreciated.


I need to develop a parser module, preferably in Java source code. The
parser is just a front end (translator) of a larger/more complex
'server entity' which will be written in Java. The initial platform is
PC/Windows (Win32). Issues:


1.) What would be the best options I have to generate a parser in Java
source code:
                - JavaCC (freely downloadable)?
                -PCYACC (from www.abxsoft.com - costs $995)?
                -MUSKOX (free from www.mastersys.com)?


        Any experiences (+, -), comparsions among above 3?
        Any other good tools??


2.) Can I use a C/C++ parser generators like LEX/YACC, FLEX/BISON
        or similar tools (Windows versions) to first build a C or C++ parser
module and
        then integrate it with the Java main code?
        Does Java development env.'s allow such integration?


Thanks.
