  • Go through the tree building examples (that use JJTree) that are also available as part of the JavaCC release. This is located under the examples directory in a directory called JJTreeExamples. Read the file README in this directory for complete instructions.
  • Study the description of the JavaCC grammar file. This provides the complete syntax of the grammar file along with a detailed description of these constructs. There are also many examples in the grammar repository.
  • Click here to see the document that describes the command line input syntax.
  • The JavaCC API routines are a bunch of classes, methods, and variables which may be accessed from user code (typically from actions - the java_block in the syntax).
  • Click here to get to the JJTree documentation.
  • Click here to get to the JJDoc documentation.
