Salesforce's APEX language specification

Question

I'd like to find out exact APEX language specification (with all that grammars, etc.) but I've spent half a day and ended with almost nothing.

I know that APEX is Java-based language, but compiling it's spec on my own from Java spec and exclusively APEX things will be a pain.

Is there any place where I can get APEX language specification?

For those not familiar with them - I'm looking for a such document http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/index.html for it.

Thanks in advance!

According to my knowledge, Salesforce hasn't presently published such a document. Rather, they want you to use the Tooling API to get the tokens etc...

See Grammar for creating an Apex parser

Unexpectedly, the Salesforce StackExchange site linked above is a great place to ask Salesforce specific questions.
