May I also suggest a look at VisualLangLab (http://vll.java.net/)? It's a completely visual environment for developing (see http://vll.java.net/EditingTheGrammarTree.html) and testing (see http://vll.java.net/TestingParsers.html) parsers without using code/ scripts of any kind. Under the hood, its parsers use a Java version of Scala's parser combinator library.
The developed parsers can be saved (as an XML file) that can be opened again for further editing, testing, etc. The saved XML file can also be loaded by any client program using a well-documented API (see http://vll.java.net/UsingTheAPI.html) that is usable from any JVM language. But if you must have a library, the classes under "net.java.vll.vll4j.combinator" are the ones you need. They are named after the classes in the Scala parser combinator library, and work the same way (except the "internal DSL" functionality). A tutorial that explores the scenarios and examples in chapter 3 (A Quick Tour for the Impatient) of the book The Definitive ANTLR Reference can be found here: http://vll.java.net/examples/a-quick-tour.html There is just one small executable jar you need (double-click to start the IDE). It also contains several bundled examples that you can tinker with, and the same jar works as the API for client programs: http://java.net/projects/vll/downloads/download/VLL4J.jar - Sanjay On Jan 29, 1:44 pm, Roman Perepelitsa <roman.perepeli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for all the suggestions!
