Read Me

I assume not many people will read this, but if You are, here are some points.

First, this is a work in progress, so don't mind the mess.

You will probably want to install the following two plugins:

The JFlex scanner eclipse plugin:
http://cup-lex-eclipse.sourceforge.net/update

The JavaCC eclipse plugin:
http://eclipse-javacc.sourceforge.net/

I use the subversive SVN plugin:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/pde-update-site/
The team provider is an additional install (Under Collaboration)

I also use JAutoDoc from time to time, as well as a custom Java formatter
http://jautodoc.sourceforge.net/update/

The eclipse-formatter.xml file should be used.
If you use different formatting, you probably should make sure that you have the
default formatter on/off tags are enabled, or you may not like the way the
preference pages are formatted.

The JavaCC parser is a modified version of the 5.0 release of JavaCC.  The jar
for it is included in the "supportJars" directory.  I put the jflex jars in
there as well, but just in case there is a problem downloading the plugins

When working properly, the javacc banner lines in the console listing will show
that the modified version is running.  If not, go to project -> properties
-> javacc options, and insure that the jar file is the target.

The modified version of JavaCC is set up as an Eclipse project and the zip file
for it is included in the "supportJars" directory as well. The file is large
(>2 M bytes).  It contains the entire JavaCC source distribution, including my
modifications.  If you are interested in that work, probably you should
download the original version and use your favorite diff (I like WinMerge).
I've documented it a bit on a blog at billfen.wordpress.com.
