If you prefer compiler built into your app without generating any source files, take a look at Parboiled: https://github.com/sirthias/parboiled

ANTLRWorks the GUI development environment for ANTLR is quite nice. I've used it with ease in the past.

The one I know about would be XText.
Might be a bit over-kill:

Xtext is a framework for development of programming languages and domain specific languages (DSLs). Just describe your very own DSL using Xtext's simple EBNF grammar language and the generator will create a parser, an AST-meta model (implemented in EMF) as well as a full-featured Eclipse text editor from that.

The DSL editor looks like:

Allowing you to play with the language you just defined:
