# javacc(1)

a java compiler compiler

## NAME

javacc — a java compiler compiler

## SYNOPSIS

**javacc** \[option-settings\]  \[inputfile\]

**jjtree** \[option-settings\]  \[inputfile\]

**jjdoc** \[inputfile\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **javacc**, **jjtree** and **jjdoc** commands.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**javacc** is a parser generator for use with Java

**jjtree** is a tree builder for javacc

**jjdoc** is a documentation generator javacc

## OPTIONS

**javacc**, **jjtree** or  **jjdoc** without any argument prints a small help  with the list of available options.

"option-settings" is a sequence of settings separated  by spaces. Each option setting must be of one of the following forms:

**-optionname=value** (e.g. -STATIC=false)

**-optionname:value** (e.g. -STATIC:false)

**-optionname**       (equivalent to -optionname=true.  e.g., -STATIC)

**-NOoptionname**     (equivalent to -optionname=false. e.g., -NOSTATIC)

Option settings are not case-sensitive, so one can say  **-nOsTaTiC** instead of **-NOSTATIC**.  Option values must be appropriate for the corresponding option, and  must be either an integer or a string value.

For a list of available options, please refer to the command's  internal help.

## EXAMPLE

**% javacc -STATIC=false -LOOKAHEAD:2 -debug\_parser mygrammar.jj**

**% jjtree -STATIC=false mygrammar.jjt**

**% jjdoc mygrammar.jj**
