An excellent answer, I'm off to play with some jackrabbit jelly ;)

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

some classes are generated, yes. e.g if you look at the files in
src/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/query/xpath you should see about 15
files. but only three of them are actually under version control:
QueryFormat.java, SimpleNode.java, XPathQueryBuilder.java all other
classes are generated by javacc.

but don't worry, the files are automatically generated by the jackrabbit
specific maven build script. if you're curious about how it works, you
can find the jelly script in maven.xml (in the trunk folder of the
jackrabbit project). the goals are called: 
jackrabbit:generate-sql-parser and jackrabbit:generate-xpath-parser.
whenever you build jackrabbit, maven checks if it needs to re-generate
the java files. that's why you see something like:

java:prepare-filesystem:
     [echo] SQL Parser up-to-date
     [echo] XPath Parser up-to-date

most of the time when you build jackrabbit.

hope this helps...
