NAME

       jflex - a lexical analyzer generator (also known as scanner generator) for Java

SYNOPSIS

       jflex <options> <input-files>

DESCRIPTION

       JFlex  is  a  lexical  analyzer  generator (also known as scanner generator) for Java(tm),
       written in Java(tm). It is also a rewrite of the very useful tool JLex. JFlex is  designed
       to work together with the LALR parser generator CUP, and the Java modification of Berkeley
       Yacc BYacc/J. It can also be used together with other parser generators like ANTLR or as a
       standalone tool.
