Why does it need a new parser? Is the JRuby wrapper insufficient/unacceptable? More importantly, is this a pure-Java implementation? I would LOVE to be able to reduce the dependencies I need to process Asciidoc in Java.

Preliminary AsciiDoc support is coming to Eclipse (Mylyn Wiki Extras) led by @maxandersen from Red Hat. For details see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/WikiText/AsciiDoc.

Keep in mind that this requires creating a completely new parser for AsciiDoc, which increases the importance of establishing a formal AsciiDoc grammar ({1}, {2}) and test suite (perhaps building on {3}).

Exciting times!

Cheers,
