       This manual page documents briefly the jtb command.

       JTB  (Java  Tree  Builder)  is a syntax tree builder and visitors generator to be used in front of JavaCC
       (Java Compiler Compiler).  It takes  a  JavaCC  grammar  file  as  input  (usually  a  ".jtb"  file)  and
       automatically generates the following:

              -  a  set  of  syntax  tree classes based on the productions in the grammar, utilizing the Visitor
              design pattern;

              - four interfaces: IVoidVisitor, IVoidArguVisitor, IRetVisitor, IRetArguVisitor;

              -     four     depth-first     visitors:     DepthFirstVoidVisitor,     DepthFirstVoidArguVisitor,
              DepthFirstRetVisitor, DepthFirstREtArguVisitor, whose default methods simply visit the children of
              the current node; a JavaCC grammar ".jj" file (jtb.out.jj by default), with the proper annotations
              to build the syntax tree during parsing (which then must be compiled with JavaCC).

       New visitors, which subclass any generated one, can then override the default methods and perform various
       operations on and manipulate the generated syntax tree.

-cl    Print a list of the classes generated to standard out.

       -ddir "-ddir" is short for (and overwrites) "-nddir/syntaxtree -vddir/visitor".

       -dl    Generate depth level info.

       -e     Suppress JTB semantic error checking.

       -f     Use descriptive node class field names.

       -h     Display this help message and quit.

       -ia    Inline visitors accept methods on base classes.

       -jd    Generate JavaDoc-friendly comments in the nodes and visitor.

       -ndNAME
              Use NAME as the package for the syntax tree nodes.

       -npNAME
              Use NAME as the package for the syntax tree nodes.

       -nsNAME
              Use NAME as the class which all node classes will extend.

       -oNAME
              Use NAME as the filename for the annotated output grammar.

       -pNAME
              "-ppkg" is short for (and overwrites) "-nppkg.syntaxtree -vppkg.visitor".

       -pp    Generate parent pointers in all node classes.

       -printer
              Generate a syntax tree dumping visitor.

       -si    Read from standard input rather than a file.

       -scheme
              Generate Scheme records representing the grammar and a Scheme tree building visitor.

       -tk    Generate special tokens into the tree.

       -vdNAME
              Use NAME as the package for the default visitor classes.

       -vpNAME
              Use NAME as the package for the default visitor classes.

       -w     Do not overwrite existing files.
