Yes, they are indeed kind of supported.

And yes, this is particular right, too.

QMake manager probably supports it a bit more than automake manager. But the 
basic systems below kdevelop do support flex and lex for all kdevelop 
templates.

All you need to do is to add the .ll / .l / .y / .yy files to the project - as 
you would do with any other existing source file. ( I know that there is 
almost always still a little trouble getting it to work, but if it's done 
once, it works... )

I am also using bison and flex in several projects. However, i constantly have 
to face that most people consider bison and flex as very complex utilities 
and do not want to use them.
Though, i'll most probably try to get the time in the future to write a 
"simple" bison and lex editor. That would be a "visual" editor which could 
make writing a bison compiler-compiler a bit easier.
I'm still doing some brainstroming on that and i do not believe it will hapen 
before the next complete KDevelop release.

Cheers Sascha
