Haven't heard about JParse yet. antlr looks promising and @ AC US
someone told me that antlr3 will no longer need the antlr runtime,
which is one of the things that would keep me from using it. Love to
hear more about JParse.
Ok, if you're not keen on antlr you're probably not going to like JParse
in that it uses antlr.

But then JParse is just for java code anyway (I used it to create a
software metrics program for analysing how 'well designed' ond
'object-oriented' peoples' code was).
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but you can develop an antlr grammar quite
easily that would treat whitespace as a token. Then, when you process
the generated tree, you just decide what you want to do with that token
depending on where it turns up. You could also have different tokens to
help you out so you don't need to keep going forwards and backwards
through the generated tree.
Do you have the current velocity language in an Extended Backus-Naur
format? If so I could take a peek and see what we could do with the
whitespace.
