DESCRIPTION

13       JFlex is a lexical analyzer generator (also known as scanner generator)
14       for  Java(tm),  written  in  Java(tm). It is also a rewrite of the very
15       useful tool JLex. JFlex is designed to  work  together  with  the  LALR
16       parser  generator  CUP,  and  the  Java  modification  of Berkeley Yacc
17       BYacc/J. It can also be used together with other parser generators like
18       ANTLR or as a standalone tool.
