New reset() methods have been added to the Parser and Tokenizer classes. The Tokenizer internals had to be heavily modified, though, breaking out the character buffer into a new LookAheadReader class. The only API breakage resulting from this was in the regular expression classes, where the match method can now throw an IOException while matching an input stream. When matching normal strings this exception can be ignored (apart from the compilation error it may cause under Java).

NOTE: The API breakage ONLY affects code calling the regexp library directly, and does NOT affect normal parsers (where access is handled by the updated Tokenizer class).

These changes are available in CVS and will be released in version 1.5.

A single parser instance should be possible to use for parsing several files, something not allowed by the current API. The current solution is ineffective when parsing several files through the same parser, as the look-ahead token sets must be calculated again every time a parser is created (i.e. every time a file is parsed).

Fixing this issue requires breaking or adding to the API. Two solutions would be possible, either by keeping the current semantics of creating a new parser for each file and introducing a Grammar object or similar to hold the look-aheads. Or, by adding a new parse() method that accepts a tokenizer or similar directly.
