New version of JavaCC uploaded

[Paul Cager-5]

Hi,

I have uploaded a new release of JavaCC 5.0 to the Documents and Files
secion. This fixes a rather embarrassing problem with the previous release
where the "bin/javacc.bat" file was missing.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
Paul

I also would like to vote for getting rid of the "wired in" access to
the Token class, and think providing an IToken interface would be better.

I used JavaCC and a JFlex generated scanner in my PL/I Eclipse plugin.  
I have not seen the JavaCC / JFlex combination mentioned in this forum
and don't know if it is common.  In my case, several reasons made it an
effective solution.  PL/I has hundreds of keywords (1200+ line lex file)
and I had a flex definition file to start with, scanning and parsing run
in different threads, etc.  (details on request)

Some tinkering was necessary to make it work, and I believe the task
would have been a bit easier if an IToken interface had been used by the
generated code.  Are there currently any plans to move in that direction?

Yes, modernising JavaCC is probably high on the "to do" list. There are
also two forks of JavaCC with a more modern API (but not backwards
compatible):

https://javacc.dev.java.net/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=2923

and

KawaDD.

Cheers,
Paul

KawaDD is now known as FreeCC I believe.
