I am working on a java based project to allow the end user to use a web browser to edit config files on a back end system, so I am looking for a parser to just parse the user input to ensure correctness. Don't need anything beyond that.

Without any docs for the project I am not exactly sure how BNF for Java will work. I am hoping that I specify my config file syntax in a (xml?) file and I feed BNF for java the user input and the bnf for my syntax and it checks the syntax "dynamically" .. I don't have to pre/recompile anything anytime my BNF syntax changes ?

Used BNF back in the, err, 80s .. so that is what attacted me to this project initially over some of the other parser projects ...
