porting to Java

[ComposersNotebook]

Treetop is such a wonderful library, it easily outshines all other
parsers by miles for most uses. I only wish it could see a wider
audience... I'd love to see a port to Java for instance.

Does anyone know of anything similar in Java, or has anyone given
thought to porting something like Treetop to Java (or Scala perhaps)?

For Java, PEG parsing engines(like Treetop) are,

At one time, I thought to switch Treetop's code-generation DSL to a
template-based approach so that templates for other languages could
be written. It doesn't seem likely I'll find time for this, but if someone
else wants to try it I'll stand by to help, laugh, point, etc. It shouldn't
be too hard.

I just came across this cross-language PEG parser framework:  http://pegex.org/

Apparently someone else had approved it, because it actually did come through - but after I had checked.
I guess that means someone else approved it… there's a first time for everything :)
