Parser generator for JavaME

Question

First: I have looked at this SO question but unfortunately there is no mention of JavaME

I am looking for a parser/lexer generator that produces code that can run on the Blackberry and its (obnoxious) JavaME.

E.g. at first I thought I could use ANTLR however it seems the run-time library is not compatible with JavaME

TIA

Answer 1

It seems it was not that much work to adapt the ANTLR 3.2 run-time for JavaMe, I left out some things but ported most of the sources. It took about a day to rewrite for those who are facing the same problem.

Changes included:

• replacing List/ArrayList with Vector
• replacing Map/Hashmap with Hashtable
• removing file handling (not needed -in my case)
• removing cloneable (not supported)
• removing all generics, replaced with normal, concrete classes
• adding simple function to do string replaceAll
• removed debugging module (not needed -in my case)
