Yes, my understanding is that JavaCC was owned by Sun and apparently given to Metamata to distribute/manage. Metamata created yet another, more advanced version of the parser that they have named "mparse". They have other tools as well, some for sale some for free. Metamata has indicated that they will keep JavaCC on their web site for distribution but that they were going to support mparse and distribute it for free. > I wouldn't think too much of package names right now, this could be > resolved rather easily once/if(?) the extension mechanism for optional > tasks gets done. My own personal opinion is that the current JavaCC taskdef should be renamed to mparse and moved into a metamata package and that a new taskdef JavaCC should be created and placed in the javacc package. > I'm willing to rename the class - and the package if needed - if it > really causes a problem.
