Hi Finne,

   For parsing I have my eye on this:

      Modern Compiler Implementation in Java
         by Andrew W. Appel
        http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0521583888/

and I ordered it sometime back but it has yet to show up. :-( Oh well.
Here is another that looks interesting:

      Building Parsers With Java
         by Steven John Metsker 
        http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201719622/

CUP looks like a worthy project but I'm more interested in finding
what others have done in the past when parsing documents. I wrote a
regular-expression parsing utility class in Java but it is not as
powerful as it should be and I'm having trouble designing a better
version of it so as to work correctly with more documents. A part of
the reason this is may be due to its complexity so if I better
implement it using object-oriented techniques the complexity should
drop and it can be used in new, more-powerful and innovative ways.
