It's not Free software, actually its a nasty proprietary license, e.g. "You may not use, copy, modify, or transfer the Software, or any copy thereof, in whole or in part, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. You may not reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile or translate the Software, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except as allowed by law. Any attempt to transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations hereunder is void. You may not rent, lease, loan, resell for profit, or distribute the Software, or any part of the Software." So, I can't give a copy. You can download it from http://www.webgain.com/products/java_cc/ but you'll have to register with the site. IIRC, it comes as a self installing JAR - I can't tell you how this works as I would have had to RE it! Strangely enough the README file contains, "This file is part of the JavaCC system release that you must have downloaded from http://www.suntest.com."; www.suntest.com is not accessible, but http://www.sun.com/suntest exists. I'd be interested to hear how this product left Sun and ended up on Webgain, seems quite strange. Perhaps someone should start a YAJCC (yet another Java compiler compiler) as a Open/Free source project! Any takers, I'll help all I can.
