<h2>
<a NAME="jjtree"></a>JJTree</h2>
<h3>
Description</h3>
Invokes the <a href="http://www.webgain.com/products/java_cc/">JJTree</a> preprocessor
for the JavaCC compiler compiler. It inserts parse tree building actions
at various places in the JavaCC source that it generates. The output of
JJTree is run through JavaCC to create the parser.
<p>To use the jjtree task, set the <i>target</i> attribute to the name
of the jjtree grammar file to process. You also need to specify the directory
containing the JavaCC installation using the <i>javacchome</i> attribute,
so that ant can find the JavaCC classes. Optionally, you can also set the
<i>outputdirectory</i>
to write the generated file to a specific directory. Otherwise jjtree writes
the generated JavaCC grammar file to the directory containing the JJTree
grammar file.</p>
<p>This task only invokes JJTree if the grammar file is newer than the
generated JavaCC file.</p>

<h3>
Example</h3>
<blockquote>
<pre>&lt;jjtree&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; target="src/Parser.jjt"&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; outputdirectory="build/src"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; javacchome="c:/program files/JavaCC"&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; nodeusesparser="true"
/></pre>
</blockquote>
This invokes JJTree on grammar file src/Parser.jjt, writing the generated
grammar file, Parser.jj, file to build/src. The grammar option NODE_USES_PARSER
is set to true when invoking JJTree.
