fwiw, i've got some implementations/fixes to java.awt.geom.*
that i'm working on (as part of the Gerber tools mentioned on
   http://www.cag.lcs.mit.edu/~cananian/Projects/FabClass/
).  I'm following existing coding style for the stubs that
were presenting in the package, but I figured if there were
any discrepancies I can always clean them up later before
commit. =)

Is this written up anywhere?
The only thing I could find was
   http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/doc/hacking.html#SEC6

I've got a GPL Java Grammar at 
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/CUP/
which *might* be useful if you decide to write a java program.
Pretty-printers don't *need* a full-fledged grammar, but it helps. =)
You can use just the lexer if that's easier.
