Project meeting and report information

MiniJava project web page; MiniJava grammar
JFlex lexical analyzer generator and CUP LALR parser generator. (We suggest using v11a of CUP since that allows Java generic types in semantic actions.)
C# Parser Tools from Queensland: scanner generator, parser generator. (We have not actually tried these, but they are actively maintained and are produced by a group with much .net/clr experience, so they look like as good a bet as any. Use the discussion board to trade hints, work out problems, etc.)
First edition book web site, including links to the original JLex/CUP scanner/parser generator.
The Java Language Specification from Sun, including a LALR(1) grammar for full Java. Check here if you're not sure how something should work.

There are several MiniJava test programs on the MiniJava project web site. Additional test programs may be provided here later.
