JFlex: Complex example (with CUP)
===============================

This directory contains a scanner and parser for the Java programming language (Java 1.2).

## Prerequisite

You need the parser generator CUP v0.11a for the parser to work.

## Build and run

Use the Makefile or Ant (via 'ant run') to generate the lexer and
parser, or type:

```
jflex unicode.flex
jflex java.flex
java java_cup.Main -interface < java12.cup
javac JavaParser.java TestLexer.java
```

The parser can be tested with:

```
java JavaParser <inputfiles>
```

The scanner (without parser attached) can be test with:

```
java TestLexer <inputfiles>
```
