Re: [Grammatica-users] Impact + grammatica = true?

[Iain McGinniss]

If you're looking about for Java parser generators, you may also want to 
take a look at SableCC:

http://sablecc.org/

It generates very strongly typed parse trees, which can be useful in 
certain situations (and a nuisance in others). Having said that however, 
Grammatica was a good match for my project so it's worth considering both.

Cheers,
