Recently I'm implementing LDAP filter and url parser, I use JavaCC[1] to

runtime).
Yes it can.
Great!!
JavaCC is BSD licensed, it convert grammar file to java file, and
according to it's FAQ[2], the java files produced by javacc
can be used in any way.
And javacc created java files with first line like this:
"/* Generated By:JavaCC: Do not edit this line. FilterParser.java */"
Is it acceptable?
Yep. Please ensure that you also contribute the grammar files that you
write as input to javacc. Both the grammar files and the resulting java
files should have the ASF standard block comments at the top and be
checked into SVN. It's probably a good idea to also keep the 'Do not
edit' instruction just so people know.
So we must move the 'Do not edit' instruction below the ASF standard block
comments.
And I think we should add a additional 'README' file, give some
instruments about
how to use the grammar files and generated source files.
