I wrote it myself, or stricly speaking, copied it from the XML Specs. It works, but fails in rare cases. My proggy is not open source, but get the grammar at http://www.jnerd.de/sneak/DTDParser.jj . This is the raw version of the grammar (the one I use in XML2Java ( http://www.jNerd.de/xml2java.html )). I didn't edited the line you do not need. But maybe it is a better example how to use it then. There are certain restrictions though. The grammar does not accept comment. I filter them before pipeing the stream to the parser. Note that you need JavaCC2.0 ( http://www.webgain.com/products/metamata/zip_files/JavaCC2_0.zip ) for building the code. Use the grammar freely, but please report any bugs, enhancements or comments ( mailto:DTDGrammar@j... ). I hope it helps you.
