> is it a parser generator like ANTLR ? lex & yacc ?

It is a port of the Berkeley Yacc to Java.  So it stands for `Java
Yacc'.  I ported the Java Yacc to C# (it was really simple ;-) and
started using it.

> what is its syntax ? (where to find doc ?)

It is the same syntax that Yacc uses.

> does it generate C# parser ?

Yes.

> could i have multiple parser in a single program ?

You could.  The program uses a skeleton file, you can change the
skeleton file to do anything you might want.
