Goals

Goals available for this plugin:

Goal	Report?	Description
javacc:help	No	Display help information on javacc-maven-plugin. Call `mvn javacc:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name>` to display parameter details.
javacc:javacc	No	Parses a JavaCC grammar file (`*.jj`) and transforms it to Java source files. Detailed information about the JavaCC options can be found on the JavaCC website.
javacc:jjdoc	Yes	JJDoc takes a JavaCC parser specification and produces documentation for the BNF grammar. This mojo will search the source directory for all `.jj` files and run JJDoc once for each file it finds. Each of these output files, along with an `index.html` file will be placed in the site directory (`target/site/jjdoc`), and a link will be created in the "Project Reports" menu of the generated site. See also:* JJDoc Documentation
javacc:jjtree	No	Deprecated. As of version 2.4, use the `jjtree-javacc` goal instead. Parses a JJTree grammar file (`*.jjt`) and transforms it to Java source files and a JavaCC grammar file. Please see the JJTree Reference Documentation for more information.
javacc:jjtree-javacc	No	Preprocesses decorated grammar files (`*.jjt`) with JJTree and passes the output to JavaCC in order to finally generate a parser with parse tree actions.
javacc:jtb	No	Deprecated. As of version 2.4, use the `jtb-javacc` goal instead. Parses a JTB file and transforms it into source files for an AST and a JavaCC grammar file which automatically builds the AST.Note: JTB requires Java 1.5 or higher. This goal will not work with earlier versions of the JRE.
javacc:jtb-javacc	No	Preprocesses ordinary grammar files (`.jtb`) with JTB and passes the output to JavaCC in order to finally generate a parser with parse tree actions. Note:* JTB requires Java 1.5 or higher. This goal will not work with earlier versions of the JRE.
