comiler issues!

Hi,
Has anyone read the book "Java: How to program" by Deitel and Deitel? If
so, can anyone provide me with the code or directions to the code that is
used to implement the compiler exercise in chapter 22? Chaper 22.27 is the
exercise I'm particularly interested in. I am interested in this field of
java (i.e. writing compilers) but I am finding it increasingly difficult
to find the time to "play" with java language.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Stressed Man.

Hate to make you buy another book, but this book:

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/

is by far the best introduction to compiler writing in Java I've seen. It
isn't perfect (check the Amazon review), but deals with the OO and Declarative
aspects beyond lex and yacc, which is pretty impressive. You can download
the code and have a look - this is way beyond the stuff Deitel and Deitel
is doing.

Best,

Ted
