Hi Rene,

Yes, it is just the "ParseException" class upstream have modified. You
could delete the other bolier-plate classes (Token.java etc) but there's
probably little point - they don't change even if you change the parser
specification (in Parser.jj). The real dynamic files are Parser.java,
ParserTokenManager.java and ParserConstants.java (but these always get
overwritten by JavaCC anyway).
