I didn't plan to upgrade javacc before the release of Stretch. I don't
know if JavaCC 6 has any breaking changes, but the upgrade to JavaCC 5
did introduce some regressions, I had to upload the javacc4 package
recently to solve such an issue with derby. Debugging grammar issues
isn't the funniest task and maintaining older versions of javacc is safer.

Ok, but be prepared to test the reverse dependencies, and maybe upload a
javacc5 package to address the compatibility issues.
