[antlr-interest] Re: 3.0 multiple language support

[lgcraymer]

This is somewhat of a "chicken and egg" question.  I would very much
like to be able to use one grammar with multiple target
languages--that would make it easier to migrate some key applications
to Java from C++, and to be able to develop other stuff in Java and
migrate it to C++--Java development tools are so much better than the
C++ tools that this would be faster.  I also note that one of the
common questions posted by newbies is "is there a Java version of
Wigg's C++ grammar?"
