Description

I try to and Apache derby into Debian, so I begin to compile derby
sources [1], derby sources provide each own libs and javacc is one of
them. In Debian, javacc version is 5.0 [2].

After some tries, I'm in a this situation : compilation success with the
official [3] javacc 4.0 and fail with the 5.0 official one.

I think that is related with javacc options passed in .jj files
(ex. java/engine/org/apache/derby/impl/sql/compile/sqlgrammar.jj lines 2-14)

I don't know much about javacc, so I can't resolve unless modifying
options blindly and I'm afraid that isn't enough ...

Best regards,
Zied
