<title>JavaCC Task</title>

<body>
<h2><a name="javacc">JavaCC</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>
Invokes the <a HREF="http://www.webgain.com/products/java_cc/" target="_top">JavaCC</a> compiler
compiler on a grammar file.
</p>
<p>
To use the javacc task, set the <i>target</i> attribute to the name of the
grammar file to process. You also need to specify the directory containing
the JavaCC installation using the <i>javacchome</i> attribute, so that ant
can find the JavaCC classes. Optionally, you can also set the
<i>outputdirectory</i> to write the generated file to a specific directory.
Otherwise javacc writes the generated files to the directory containing
the grammar file.
</p>
<p>
This task only invokes JavaCC if the grammar file is newer than the generated
Java files. javacc assumes that the Java class name of the generated parser
is the same as the name of the grammar file, ignoring the .jj.
If this is not the case, the javacc task will still work, but it will always
generate the output files.

<h3>Example</h3>
<blockquote><pre>
&lt;javacc
target=&quot;src/Parser.jj&quot;
outputdirectory=&quot;build/src&quot;
javacchome=&quot;c:/program files/JavaCC&quot;
static=&quot;true&quot;
/&gt;
</pre></blockquote>
<p>
This invokes JavaCC on grammar file src/Parser.jj, writing the generated
files to build/src. The grammar option STATIC is set to true when
invoking JavaCC.
