Hi folks,

when I build a grammar, first line of my java generated code is always :

 public static final String[] tokenNames = new String[] { verly large array
list }

followed by a very long list of

 public static final int ;

it's not the first thread on blowing the 65K static initializer when you
have a lot of tokens or rules.

Why not use more recent structures like Enum (available since java 1.5) that
can hold a string and an int for each token ? I think enum is final by
default.
as a little test, I made an enum class with all my tokens manually and that
enum class compiles fine.
Unfortunately, as the code has compile errors in java, refactoring is not
an  option , and manually search / replace in 80.000 lines of generated code
will drive me nuts,


PS: is that mailing list available online? how can I access it ? receiving
all these mails in my mailbox becomes a little overhead for me.

keep on doing such a great job,
best regards,
patrick ericx
