Re: Java Parser

[Dale Applegate]

I have written one.  Here is why: I wanted to dynamically pluck,parse, and
package a plucker db from a multithreaded Java process (A Java web
application), and send this db over the internet to a waiting Hotsync
conduit or directly to the  browser.   Writing a parser in Java seemed the
smoothest way to accomplish this, so I wrote one (It is a little off from
being complete, but it has a core functionality).  I originally asked the
question because I was simply curious if anyone else has done it, not
because it *should* be done.

Continuing in the theme David and I were running with yesterday
(off-list), but it was actually my intention to write a Java parser for
Plucker as the 'default' parser, to replace the awk one that was so
convoluted.

I'd be interested to hear for what purpose a Java parser might be used,
though I must say that I doubt that I would have time to work on it at
the moment. Still it would be an interesting side project...

Cheers
Mark
