What is considered the best parser nowadays that generates the parser
in Java source code?

What I need in an abbreviated Java parser just to cut the program into
chunks, each class within that each declaration and method.

I have already written the parsing that takes it from there.

The idea is to rearrange your code in a defined canonical order,
e.g. statics before instance primitives before references, char before
int...

If I were designing Java, I would have put a keyword on the front of
each declaration e.g. dcl, and each method "method".

This would make parsing simpler and faster. It would also make
navigating with a simple search string easier. IF the keyword were
shown in special colour, it would make it much easier by eye to detect
method starts.
