Hi

'GUI Archetype Editor uses Eiffel reference ADL parser' as stated in this page http://svn.openehr.org/knowledge_tools_java/TRUNK/project_page.htm

Is there any ADL parser written in Java?
Is anybody working on that?

Please check the  Java\-sources\. I know, in the 0\.95 version is the
adl\-parser which is easy to understand when you check the JUnit\-tests\.
I guess tomorrow you will get better answers,many readers are to a
congress in Maastricht

The Java ADL parser is based on javaCC and it can be found at
http://svn.openehr.org/ref_impl_java/TRUNK/components/adl_parser/

Please note that the one on the TRUNK is more up\-to\-date and constantly
being updated towards the latest Java kernel\.

Bert, you are right \- we have a group of openEHR people at this year's
MIE conference :\-\)

Cheers,
Rong

Hi minreddy,
one of the items in my todo list is a parser\. other items on the list
are leaving the industry and living at seaside, going to tibet and
serengeti\.\.\.
No seriously, I hope to work on this in a couple of months, but don't
know what the current situation is\. I have an eye on the upcoming OHF
openEHR colloboration plans\.  A work item like this might emerge in OHF,
but even if it does not, it seems to me like a subject that deserves
attention\. Of course if there is such a project going on, than I'd like
to know about it
Regards
Seref Arikan

there is; Rong Chen has commented on that\. But you might want to make
the Eiffel parser and workbench compile on Linux, if interested\. I have
made it build for MacOSX and it works, but there are a few visual
gremlins and install issues that need to be solved and I don't have the
time\. The same will happen on Linux \- but no source will need to be
changed\. And plus Eiffel is a lot of fun to work with\.
