JavaCC generates recursive descent compilers and doesn't really look
much like YACC either.
For LR parsing there is the Cup parser generator. JLex and Java Cup
are better choices for Lex and YACC look-alikes. The primary
difference being Cup uses named rather than positional attributes.
Other choices might include ANTLR and SableCC.
