<h2>
<a NAME="jjtree"></a>JJDoc</h2>
<p><em>Since Ant 1.6</em></p>
<h3>Description</h3>

<p>Invokes the <a href="http://javacc.dev.java.net/">JJDoc</a> preprocessor
for the JavaCC compiler compiler. It takes a JavaCC parser specification
and produces documentation for the BNF grammar.
It can operate in three modes, determined by command line options.
<p>To use the jjdoc task, set the <i>target</i> attribute to the name
of the JavaCC grammar file to process. You also need to specify the directory
containing the JavaCC installation using the <i>javacchome</i> attribute,
so that ant can find the JavaCC classes. Optionally, you can also set the
<i>outputfile</i> to write the generated BNF documentation file to a specific (directory and) file.
Otherwise jjdoc writes the generated BNF documentation file as the JavaCC
grammar file with a suffix .txt or .html.</p>
<p>This task only invokes JJDoc if the grammar file is newer than the
generated BNF documentation file.</p>

<h3>Parameters</h3>

<table BORDER CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=2 >
<tr>
<td VALIGN=TOP><b>Attribute</b></td>

<td VALIGN=TOP><b>Description</b></td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP><b>Required</b></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td VALIGN=TOP>target</td>

<td VALIGN=TOP>The javacc grammar file to process.</td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP>Yes</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td VALIGN=TOP>javacchome</td>

<td VALIGN=TOP>The directory containing the JavaCC distribution.</td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP>Yes</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td VALIGN=TOP>outputfile</td>

<td VALIGN=TOP>The file to write the generated BNF documentation file to. If not set,
the file is written with the same name as the JavaCC grammar file but with a the suffix .html or .txt.&nbsp;</td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP>No</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td VALIGN=TOP>text</td>

<td VALIGN=TOP>Sets the TEXT BNF documentation option. This is a boolean
option.</td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP>No</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td VALIGN=TOP>onetable</td>

<td VALIGN=TOP>Sets the ONE_TABLE BNF documentation option. This is a boolean option.</td>

<td ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP>No</td>
</tr>
</table>

<h3>
Example</h3>

<blockquote>
<pre>&lt;jjdoc&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; target="src/Parser.jj"&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; outputfile="doc/ParserBNF.html"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; javacchome="c:/program files/JavaCC"&nbsp;
/&gt;</pre>
</blockquote>
This invokes JJDoc on grammar file src/Parser.jj, writing the generated
BNF documentation file, ParserBNF.html, file to doc.
