Java grammar licensing (was: Re: KDevelop / Bachelor thesis)

[Roberto Raggi]

Hi Jakob!

the ANTLR based Java grammar is pretty good :-) remember that ANTLR is LL(k), 
and it has some magic stuff to remove left ambiguites. Porting the ANTLR 
grammar is not trivial :-)

I'm considering to improve kdevelop-pg with something like that. 
The idea is to *minimize* the recognizer. I'm not 100% sure, but maybe I can 
do it with MIHDA. More info here (only the first part of the paper is 
interesting for kdevelop-pg)
