Subject: How to write a ruby compiler using Java???

Hi,

   I am using Java to write a Ruby compiler. I build up the editor by 
Java SWing.
   Now the tough task for me is syntax parser. Does someone have some 
suggestions about how to check the validity of ruby codes in the editor 
and how to mark the grammar-incompliant points? Are there some plugins I 
can make use of, or do I need to parse the grammar by myself? If I want 
to parse the grammar by myself, where is the complete grammar definition 
for ruby lang? E.G., like C99(ISO 9899:1999) for C lang. Seems there is 
not a complete grammar definition for ruby lang at http://www.ruby-lang.org.
   Many Thanks.

Best Rgds,
Shiwei
