Hi Jeremy. As I mentioned in a previous thread I'm working on a new Java 
parser for DDT. Maybe I should have kept people up to date, but the 
lexer is pretty much done, it was completed in the beggining of 
February. The parser is about 50-60% done.

This work is available in the parser branch of the DDT repo:
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/source/list?name=parser

The lexer in particular is here:
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/source/browse/org.dsource.ddt.dtool/src/dtool/parser/DeeLexer.java?name=parser

It's well-tested, and complete, apart from one missing aspect which is 
checking that escape sequences in string and character literals are valid.
