Certainly:

  * JLex (a lexer generator)
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/JLex/
  * CUP (a parser generator)
    http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~appel/modern/java/CUP/
  * ANTLR (a lexer, parser, tree, and more generator)
    http://www.antlr.org/

CUP and ANTLR do not have a syntax similar to that of Yacc, while JLex
seems, at first glance, to be pretty much dead on with Lex (with the
exception that the code blocks are written in Java).

There are others.  See http://www.freshmeat.net/ and do a search.
