Another parser than ANTLR

Hi, jon, hi yang, hi all,
Since 4 years, i have developed with two colleagues a LR parser generator,
It has several good features among:
* separate specifications for lexer (regular expression based
rules), parser (grammar) and semantics (java interface
implementation);
* push analyzer: the characters are fed to the analyzer so it allows
asynchronous usage (for instance with thread pool and selectors);
* automated lexer rule selection according to tokens expected by the
parser (this allows to let user name their variable as some keywords);
* production of shared parser tables for different versions of the
language to simplify backward compatibility or allow version
change during parsing;
I think it could be interresting to try to use it.
So here is my question, is the compiler-grammar workspace open to other
contribution than an ANTLR parser ?
regards,
Remi
