## Previous, obsolete content of this page ### Scott E. Hudson Modified by Frank Flannery, C. Scott Ananian, Dan Wang with advice from Andrew W. Appel Sep 1999 (v0.10k) ### User Manual ### Copyright Notice, License, and Disclaimer ### Source code (CUP 0.10k) (compressed tar) (ZIP archive) ### Change log for current version ### Known issues with current release (updated 24-Jul-1999) [CUP 0.10k requires JDK 1.1 or greater.] FAQs: How do I get the line number where my parse error occurred? Look at how the Grammar for Java below does it. That's canonical. "Symbol recycling detected (fix your scanner)" -- help! Your lexer can't return the same object twice; see the CHANGELOG entry for 0.10j in the CUP distribution for more details. Why haven't there been any releases recently? Because CUP doesn't have any known bugs. Just "feature requests," and they get very low priority if a patch isn't included with your request. NEW! CUP Grammar for the Java Programming language, versions 1.0 through 1.5. (compressed tar) (ZIP archive) (README) UPDATED: Grammar extended to handle latest version of the Java 1.5 specification with wildcard parameterizations and JSR-201 constructs (up-to-date with prototype 2.2 of JSR-14 + JSR-201 features).
