The Bison TODO file has some comments on this. I think though that once one
gets the extension of %define and the new %typed command that I suggested in
the Bison-Patches list for use with C++, the writing of Java output would be
fairly easy. The tricky thing with C++ is to place the code and to provide
suitable type conversions. But with such constructs in hand, I suspect it
would be fairly easy to do for C++. Then, Java is similar in structure to
C++. So it may have the same problems, even though simpler.
