Parser for the Java language which is good for use in tools

 NetBeans parser for Java is patched version of the Java compiler.
 The patches are necessary for making the compiler usable in tools.
 They contain things like improved error recovery, perfomance
 improvements etc.
 .
 Please notice that the NetBeans Java parser is intended solely for use
 in development tools and can not and should not be used as a Java compiler.
 It does not produce class files. If you want to compile Java source code
 use the javac compiler included in JDK releases.
