Re: [tcljava-dev] Parsing Jacl

[<vm...@en...>]

Thank you Mo DeJong for the reply. It helped a lot. However, I have a small 
concern. What would happen to the tclparser when, in the process of parsing, 
it comes across some Jacl constructs which are not found in Tcl (for example, 
a command to access a Java library)? In that case, we might need to extend the 
tclparser, right? 
What are your views regarding this?

Thank you.
