Hi,

maybe this link is interesting for you:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-core-home/howto/generate%20parser/generateParser.html

But be warned that the JDT folk does not use a version of JikesPG which
is available to the public. I had a talk on the jikes mailinglist about
that. The JDT project uses a patched version which should be made
available soon. Without the patch, you cannot generate the grammar. I
posted a workaround for that on the Jikes bug site. If you are
interested, look into the jikespg bug category, it is the only open bug
at the moment.

Hope this will help,
Ingo
