Invokes the SableCC Translator generator on a grammar file(s).
To use the SableCC task, set the src attribute to the name of the grammar file to process, or to the directory containing grammar files. In the latter case you have to specify via include mechanism which files should be included for processing. SableCC follows standard MatchingTask conventions. Optionally, you can also set the outputdirectory to write the generated file to a specific directory. Otherwise sablecc writes the generated files to the base directory.

| outputdirectory | The directory to write the generated files to. If not set, the files are written to the directory containing the grammar file. | No |
