Hi, Rich, 

JavaCC and Metamata Parse are related parsers for Java.   For both tools, you 
just specify your grammar inside a Java class with some extra syntax afforded 
by a pre-processor, and tell it what to do when it encounters that grammar.  
Very straight forward.  When I used Metamata Parse in 1999, I found the 
manual to be excellent.

JavaCC lives here:

Alas, http://www.metamata.com/ is dead, and I presume that branch of the 
parser died with it.

Good luck,
Jim
