  Description     : Maven Plugin which uses the JavaCC parser generator to process JavaCC grammar files

This plugin uses the JavaCC parser generator to process JavaCC grammar
files and generate the appropriate Java source files. For general
information about JavaCC, see the  JavaCC web site.

JavaCC grammar files use the extension .jj. This plugin can be used to
locate and process all grammar files within a specified directory. Java
source files will be written to a common generated-sources output
directory, typically located in the build output directory. By default,
the plugin will run during the generate-sources phase, but it can be
configured to run in other phases as well.

The plugin can also be be used to call the JJTree and JTB tools.

Finally, this plugin contains a goal for running JJDoc. JJDoc is a
simple tool that generates BNF documentation for the JavaCC grammar
files. This can be used to generate a report for your project site using
the Maven reporting tools.
