<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>In 1996, <a href="/facts/Sun_Microsystems/VJ9EzEFd">Sun Microsystems</a> released a parser generator called <i>Jack</i>. The developers responsible for <i>Jack</i> created their own company called Metamata and changed the <i>Jack</i> name to JavaCC. Metamata eventually became part of WebGain. After WebGain shut down its operations, JavaCC was moved to its current home. </p> <h2 id="uses">Uses</h2> <p>Software built using JavaCC includes: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Apache_Derby/vSE2vVtG">Apache Derby</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/BeanShell/1o8gE6fB">BeanShell</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/FreeMarker/FvP4jVza">FreeMarker</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/PMD_(software)/YJHLEBml">PMD</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Vaadin/DR6Rvp61">Vaadin</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Apache_Lucene/tPQ0D39Y">Apache Lucene</a></li> <li>JavaParser</li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul> <li>Computer programming portal</li><li>Free and open-source software portal</li></ul> <ul><li><a href="/facts/ANTLR/3gwQCDyb">ANTLR</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/SableCC/rnMnpIaF">SableCC</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Coco%2fR/B8na9Ewq">Coco/R</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Parboiled_(Java)/b4IHUoFN">parboiled</a></li></ul> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="https://javacc.org">Official website</a> </li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130608172614/https://javacc.java.net/">Java Compiler Compiler (JavaCC) - The Java Parser Generator</a></li> <li><a href="http://javacc.org/">JavaCC's New Official Website by April 2017</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/JavaCC-Tutorial/">JavaCC Tutorial</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/JavaCC-FAQ/">JavaCC FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="http://generatingparserswithjavacc.com/">A JavaCC book - Generating Parsers with JavaCC</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140311225541/http://generatingparserswithjavacc.com/">Archived</a> 2014-03-11 at the <a href="/facts/Wayback_Machine/nmQ3a6JC">Wayback Machine</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Enseling, Oliver (2000-12-29).
