History
The parser is based on work by Sreenivasa Viswanadha and Júlio Vilmar Gesser. The original project, now inactive, was originally hosted at Google Code and supported only parsing Java 1.5.
Matozoid picked it up and put it on GitHub. He started accepting patches. Over time a community grew around it. In 2015 Federico Tomassetti started working on the JavaSymbolSolver which in 2016 was included in the JavaParser set of tools.
