Yeah, well, he is, I'm in.

He meant it would be best to just concentrate on the parser because it's 
enough work for the course, which will consist of converting an ANTLR Java 
grammar to kdevelop-pg format, processing the generated AST with an example 
program which outputs the original source again, and verifying all that with 
countless test cases. Any objections or comments on that?

As for the plan, I now need to do a short description of the upcoming work 
(what I intend to do, and how) and a list of mile stones with a schedule.

Roberto:
Is there some documentation on the kdevelop-pg grammar format?
(I guess there's none, but maybe I'm wrong?)
Which kind of grammar is it (LR, LL, LALR, ...)?

Should I target Java 1.4 or 1.5?
Should I derive from the KDevelop Java grammar or take another one?
Did I forget something important to ask?

If you got hints for me how to do it best (which steps to take, how to test 
the grammar, or pointing me to obvious beginner faults) I'd certainly be glad 
to get help.

Good luck to myself, on your behalf ;-]
