Any particular reason the ones that currently exist don't fit your
needs?  You might be better off enhancing an existing one, rather than
starting from scratch.

You'll probably want to have two Parsers here, one for the Java code and
one for the Javadoc comments.

I seem to remember this is in the tree construction documentation for
antlr, but could be mistaken.

One can be found on the antlr website, although it tosses comments,
which is why I suggested two parsers in 1.
