What is the best way to utilize JavaCC in Netbeans projects? I tried the
plugin available in <http://zirigui.blogspot.com/2008/01/javacc-plugin-
for-netbeans.html> but I can't get it to work in Netbeans. I've set
JAVACC_HOME to where I keep javacc-5.0, also tried with javacc-4.2.
I want to use the Open Source project AtLeap <http: atleap.dev.java.net/

The latter is just a standard Ant-based project with an IDE-managed build script that known nothing of JavaCC. It may be possible to edit build.xml (not build-impl.xml)
of a standard project to perform JavaCC compilation in addition to the regular build steps. But this would be more work than using an autoproject, especially on a big
complex project, and might not offer any particular advantage - depends on what you need to do with the project besides edit and build.

Noted. It's a question of priorities - whether there is time to polish it enough for inclusion in the product.

You could do that; useful only if you're using standard Ant-based projects.

projects I seem to be unable to add existing netbeans libraries,
however, unless I modify "lib.properties", which I suppose is doable.

Yes, since autoprojects are normally used for projects that already have a build.xml completely set up, and referring to NB libraries requires a soft dependency on NB
(loading build.properties in the NB userdir) which would usually be inappropriate. |
