Jikes Goes Open Source!

IBM is announcing the availability of the source code for 
its Jikes Java technology, developed by IBM Research.  
Users have asked IBM to consider offering Jikes source 
code, and we listened!

Jikes is a fast, simple, source code to byte code compiler 
that emphasizes strict adherence to the Java language 
definition. It is a high-quality tool that will help 
developers quickly create Java applications. We look 
forward to having Java developers collaborate with IBM to 
enhance Jikes' capabilities, as well as port it to new 
platforms, which will further  the adoption of Java-based
solutions in the marketplace.

Jikes Parser Generator

The Jikes Parser Generator uses grammar-analysis and 
table-compression algorithms to offer better table 
compression and automatic error recovery.

Jikes Parser Generator is a parser generator that accepts 
as input an annotated description for a language grammar 
and produces text files suitable for inclusion in a parser 
for that language. It is similar in function and use to the
widely-available parser generators Yacc and Bison.

It also provides support for automatic diagnosis and 
recovery from syntactic errors. It is the parser generator 
used by the Jikes Compiler. Jikes Parser Generator can 
generate parsers for LALR(k) grammars and produce output
suitable for use with parsers written in Java, C, or C++.
