ANTLR is cool (stable supported mature) but the plugins are a bit of a nightmare. ANTLR itself generates an LALR recursive descent parser, which will mean something to those who understand compilers. My understanding is limited to knowing that that means the generated code has less reliance on state machines, which consist of a very efficient but horrible, java-hostile nest of spaghetti gotos. Another plus to ANTLR is that the grammars and the implementation code are kept separate, easing porting to other languages. There are three plugins to my knowledge: ANTLRworks: not available for NB8.2 Fred Vinet's: Supports syntax highlighting / completion and includes an ANT build task. It includes some bugs which I am currently working to fix as FYV seems to have gone very quiet. Peter Cheung's: supports realtime compilation, highlighting and I think completion, but I could get not the compilation / building to work reliably - lack of clear instructions. I do remember someone having ported / adapted Flex and Bison to Java? Not sure how well they work or if that project is still live.
