tulipcc-maven-plugin

An updated version of the javacc-maven-plugin. Originally it was JavaCC 6.1.3, than updated to JavaCC 7.0 but in the meantime the underlying code is the ParserGeneratorCC project which is a fork of JavaCC 7.0.3 but with slightly improved code and output quality. The main difference is the removed code compatibility for generating code below Java 1.5 - respective options where removed.
For the rest, the parameters etc. where basically not touched, so it should be a drop-in replacement for the old javacc-maven-plugin 2.6. It requires Java 1.8 or higher and Apache Maven 3.x or higher.

It is licensed under the Apache 2 license.

I'm using it e.g. in ph-css for CSS parsing.
