CUP Parser Generator for Java

Previous, obsolete content of this page

[CUP 0.10k requires JDK 1.1 or greater.]

• How do I get the line number where my parse error occurred? Look at how the Grammar for Java below does it. That's canonical.
• "Symbol recycling detected (fix your scanner)" -- help! Your lexer can't return the same object twice; see the CHANGELOG entry for 0.10j in the CUP distribution for more details.
• Why haven't there been any releases recently? Because CUP doesn't have any known bugs. Just "feature requests," and they get very low priority if a patch isn't included with your request.

See README for previous changes to the grammar and additional details on this release.

My GJ page has more information on "Generic Java", JSR-14, JSR-201, and the proposed Java 1.5.
