Hi Stephen,
thank You for these explanations. For Flex, Bison etc. I found this:
http://jflex.de/ (despite of the German TLD it's in English). There are
links on this page to further related technologies.
However, while the responses are all very interesting, none of them are
really addressing the original question in its context: The original
posting was a question primarily about which NetBeans API to use, but
the (incomplete) subject was obviously misleading, so I'll repost my
question with a more exact subject.
Kind regards
Peter

ANTLR is cool (stable supported mature) but the plugins are a bit of a
nightmare. ANTLR itself generates an LALR recursive descent parser, which will
mean something to those who understand compilers. My understanding is limited
to knowing that that means the generated code has less reliance on state
machines, which consist of a very efficient but horrible, java-hostile nest of
spaghetti gotos. Another plus to ANTLR is that the grammars and the
implementation code are kept separate, easing porting to other languages.
There are three plugins to my knowledge:
ANTLRworks: not available for NB8.2
Fred Vinet's: Supports syntax highlighting / completion and includes an ANT
build task. It includes some bugs which I am currently working to fix as FYV
seems to have gone very quiet.
Peter Cheung's: supports realtime compilation, highlighting and I think
completion, but I could get not the compilation / building to work reliably -
lack of clear instructions.
I do remember someone having ported / adapted Flex and Bison to Java? Not sure
how well they work or if that project is still live.

Hi all ,
ANTRL is fine. There 's a plugin for NetBeans too

I used both too, but I switched to ANTLR, it seems more maintained and
up to date. I can recommend this. IntelliJ has an other stuff, which is
new, but I couldn’t remember the Name, and I think NetBeans doesn’t
support it.
Cheers

Hi,
sometimes I play around to build a simple language to allow me to work
with mathematical
operations - a simple but high speed version of matlab for timeseries
analysis. So I found
Truffle and Graal a very interesting technology to implement new
languages in general.
There is a blog entry
https://blog.plan99.net/graal-truffle-134d8f28fb69
which may be is an easier starting point than the original
documentation of Jaruslaw Tulach.
best regards
Oliver
Hello,
latest tutorial I found is at
https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-javacc-lexer.html - but
JavaCC seems to be no longer actively supported. I'm also not sure,
if
this is using latest language infrastructure: Though it states
"Requires
NetBeans 8.1", it uses e.d.
"org.netbeans.spi.lexer.LanguageHierarchy".
IIRC this is older than GSF/CSL API, which is used e.g. for the
(netbeans-internal) YAML module.
Which API should I use?
Kind regards
Peter
