GEdit Grammar Editor

The Grammar Editor is a full featured Eclipse editor. It can be used to edit grammar files that act as input for the Jikes Parser Generator or the LALR Parser Generator. The most recent version of the Jikespg parser can be found here: https://github.com/jikespg/jikespg/tree/fixes-combined

Important

This is a continuation of the Jikespg Grammar Editor project https://sourceforge.net/projects/jgedit/ by Uwe Voigt from 2005. The incentive is to get it working in modern Eclipse versions, as the old version crashes due to API changes.
