What is the best Java parser tool for my own language grammar?

Question

I am developing a small programming language based mainly on the C99 standard, and I have already written a pretty decent lexer in java, and now I'm looking to create a Java Parser from grammar. I know Bison there , but it seems that it only generates C code. I'm looking for an application that will allow me to enter my grammar and create a complete parser class in Java code. Reading other SO posts on related topics, I found ANTLR, but I wonder if anyone in SO knows about a better tool?

thanks!
