Hi, I guess your question is related to http://markmail.org/message/kw4erakv272hsy3o where someone else already told you about JavaCC. AFAIK JavaCC is the only tool used by Tomcat that generates classes. The number of classes depends on the parser rules so it could be N today and M tomorrow. Just grep the sources for this header and use the returned number.
