I should've think at it ;-)

Yes, I'm afraid at the time SN was designed, the languages of choice were
only C and C++, and probably Java was not anticipated 8-0
You there run into the fact that Java is like C++ (at least syntactically)
so a C++-oriented tool will work fine one it, but not really the same so
some features of the language may not be supported :-(
Hopefully it should not be too difficult to add the right rule in SN's
parser, although I've never even looked at the source code yet :-)
Regards,
Bernard
