SUMMARY

JavaCC is an open source compiler compiler. It takes a grammar specification as input and produces a stand-alone parser written in Java.

CONTENTS

This distribution contains the JavaCC, JJTree and JJDoc sources, launcher scripts, example grammars and documentation. It also contains a bootstrap version of JavaCC needed to build JavaCC.

BUILDING

You need ant-1.5.3 or above to build JavaCC. You can get ant from:

http://ant.apache.org

Once you install ant, make sure ant is in your path. Then you can simply come to this directory (JavaCC source install directory) and type:

$ ant

it will build the javacc.jar file in the target directory.

On unix-based systems, you need to make sure the files in the bin directory of this distribution are in your path.
