Well, like Eric mentioned, if you can just ignore JavaCC syntax and look
at embedded Java code, it's not all that complicated (especially you have
done something with yacc/bison, to know how parser generators generally
work)... but granted at first looks bit alien. :-)
Now, I haven't tested this, but I would think that just building single Query
that searches wild card phrase "some th*" in field "my_field", you'd just do:
Query q = new WildcardQuery(new Term("my_field", "some th*"));
and feed that to whichever search object you need. In this particular case you
could also use PrefixQuery instead; if so, you need strip out the trailing
"*" (since that's implied when constructing PrefixQuery).

Eric described the method of combining queries that should work as far as I
could see. If you do not want to rely on QueryParer to return BooleanQuery,
you can also just build your your BooleanQuery, and wrap sub-queries as
BooleanClauses. That's bit more work but should work as well.
Good luck and let us know if that works,
