If you get CEDET from CVS, it is in cedet/semantic/wisent/wisent-java-tags.wy

There is also cedet/semantic/wisent-wisent-java.wy which parses the
entire file.  It is my understanding that the -tags.wy file generates
semantic tags and the other was intended to be a full parser providing
much better parsing and unmatched-syntax highlighting.

The -tags parser needs to be updated.  The full parser should be
updated but there are no explicit dependencies (that I know of).  The
full parser has a lot of potential in terms of possible uses, and has
very good performance.

As for updating the grammars, they are in a bison-like format, and
David had written a very nice manual for it.
