Yes, I should have addressed this in my previous message.  I didn't miss 
that part :)

I plan to isolate the parser behind a well-defined interface.  This way, 
when Gjdoc V2 is ready to replace V1 officially and the licensing issues 
aren't sorted out by then, it will be easy to swap it out in favor of an 
alternative.

Since adapting the ecj parser for Gjdoc doesn't look like a lot of work, 
not much would be lost in this case.  And by starting out with ecj I can 
concentrate on architecture and design without having to worry about 
parsing at this point.

So as I see it, the ultimate choice of which parser to use for the final 
version of Gjdoc V2 can be safely postponed, with ecj as an intermediary 
solution (and "standard parser" any replacement parser can be compared 
against).
