SeText is a textual syntax specification language and associated scanner/parser generator. It can be used to specify the syntax of a language, and automatically generate a scanner and LALR(1) parser(s).
SeText is one of the tools of the Eclipse ESCET™ project. Visit the project website for downloads, installation instructions, source code, general tool usage information, information on how to contribute, and more.

The Eclipse ESCET project, including the SeText language and toolset, is currently in the Incubation Phase.
