Too many people have told me about the disadvantages, but what is its advantage if any?

---

JavaCC doesn't require its own runtime JAR (the code it generates runs on its own), whereas ANTLR does.

---

JavaCC is incredibly easy to learn if you already know Java. The syntax is quite similar to standard Java syntax, and the differences are intuitive.

JavaCC can generate C++ as of last year and Sreeni (the maintainer) is improving the system.
