[Mapserver-dev] MapFile Java parser

[Sean Gillies]

Jean,

Instead of writing a custom parser, why not spend the same time to get
the Java MapScript module back in shape?  Then you'd have mapfile
parsing capabilities that would stay in synch with MapServer as it
continues to develope.

cheers,
Sean
