[antlr-interest] StringTemplate issue

[birmanstefan]

Hello Ter,
  
    I used a jarred app, which includes a library of templates, and 
run in a "Can't load template" error. It seems that it tries to load 
template from an illegal path. I put a testcase in group's files 
directory called test4tp.jar (includes all you need to reproduce the 
issue). 

    The fix was to create a group without a root directory and include 
all the templates in the root of the jar. The bad thing is that it 
doesn't preserve the hierarchy in jar file and have to modify in 
original code (=> two versions : for jarred and un-jarred app).

    I took a look in the  StringTemplateGroup.loadTemplate() and I saw 
that it uses some classLoader stuff to load the template. Enlarging 
this mechanism in order to be able to load templates from dir 
structure in a jar file (JAR URL) should fix the issue. I'm not very 
familiar with this mechanism, so I must ask : am I looking in the 
wrong direction?
    
    On the other hand, are there any news on StringTemplates 2.0?

Thanks,
       Stefan.
