Laura, I'm glad you like the idea of using the C++ plugin for Eclipse. However, I don't think that anything except itex@MML will be using Flex and Bison. Other programs might requitre other specialized tools. If we need to write a program that does something like itex2MML we should use antlr which is like Flex and Bison for Java.
