   Documentation quality is subjective.  There seem to be more than one   
   implementation of something like yacc for Java.  The first the comes   
   up in google is jack, directly from Sun.

   My feeling about Java has always been that it is more C-like than C++   
   is.  It isn't that hard to write code similar to what you might write   
   in C, and, I believe, a lot easier to debug.
