• Grammar-Kit

  1 674 0.0 Java

  Grammar files support & parser/PSI generation for IntelliJ IDEA

  

  In IDEA, code generation by the GrammarKit plugin is mainly used to create a parser. Unfortunately, there is not much documentation about it and it is only presented in Tutorial and HOWTO.

• JFlex

  0 551 0.0 Java

  The fast scanner generator for Java™ with full Unicode support

  

  Perhaps, the easiest way to create a lexer for IDEA is to use JFlex. The GrammarKit plugin already contains implementation and allows you to generate a lexer from .bnf file or from .flex file (with more customization options). An example for the Monkey language can be viewed here, a more complex one for Frege - here.
