Re: how to help?

I was told that the grammar for Java in Semantic supports all of Java 
1.5, including generics.  There are, however, two grammars.  There is a 
tagging grammar (wisent-java-tags.wy) and a full parser 
(wisent-java.wy).  It is possible to use either one for tagging, though 
the smaller tagging grammar is better for performance reasons since it 
doesn't parse the contets of method bodies.

David Ponce wrote the original grammars, and I don't know the magic 
needed to swap between them.  I expect everything you need is there 
except perhaps some instructions on how to swap between the different 
options.
