JavaCC Eclipse Plug-in for Eclipse 3.0 to 3.5 From: http://pagesperso-orange.fr/eclipse_javacc/ Last update 4 October 2009 - version 1.5.16 JavaCC plug-in is designed to help development of JavaCC applications. License : GPL / Cecill

You can download the last version here : EclipseJavaCC-1.5.16.zip (java 1.5) or from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-javacc or use http://eclipse-javacc.sourceforge.net/ as an update site for Eclipse

The plugin needs Java 1.5 to run, sources contain Java 5.0 templates.

To install you must use Eclipse 3.4 Menu "Help" / "Software updates..." with Ganymede and Menu "Help" / "Install New Software..." with Galileo

If you want both a tutorial and a reference for JavaCC, Tom Copeland wrote a very nice book: http://generatingparserswithjavacc.com/ A really good book... this is the only good tutorial/reference on JavaCC.

It could have been a little more detailed on JavaCC internals and parsers theory but otherwise it's great; it has good examples as well as thorough explanations of key concepts.

Just accept all default settings. Beware templates files are for Java 1.5 (you must change in generated file to JDK_VERSION = 1.4 if you use java 1.4)

3) You have now a new JavaCC file, compiled with JavaCC and all generated java files in you project. Note that : - the generated files are decorated with a "G" and a "" to indicate the .jj file they come from, - there may be warnings from the Java Compiler (Eclipse doesn't like JavaCC generated code), - JavaCC console opens automatically.

4) Run the example Select "TestJavaCC" and menu "Run"/ "Run as..." / "Java application" Choose "eg1" for the main type. You can now test your JavaCC application : You can do the same with the template for JJTree : and also with the template for JTB: Feel free to signal any bug or suggest enhancement at [email protected] or at sourceforge.
