Which version of SableCC have you installed?   Try downloading 2.17.3, 
and use this one instead of the stable 2.16.x   Even though it is marked 
Experimental, most of the codebase is 'stable' ;o)


All the grammars' bulid.xml files are designed for experimental Sablecc 
2.17.3, and this is the one which do support "tools". Older Sablecc does 
not have the "experimental" stuff built-in, so you cannot generate 
"tools" using the older stable release.
