Huh? Are you sure you are not mixing threads?  The original poster (Anthony
Youngman) made it very clear he had no problem with installing Java to run
ANTLR.  Note the first sentence of his message (quoted in its entirety):

AY: I know this has been addressed ...
AY: 
AY: It's all right to require the developer to install Java. Much as I may
AY: or may not like it, if I'm clever enough to understand ANTLR, then I'm
AY: clever enough to understand Java.
AY: 
AY: But (and this is addressed by the current C++ output and the planned
AY: "emit any compatible language" module) it is NOT reasonable to force us
AY: to require that our users have Java installed. Once we've generated our
AY: lexer/parser/compiler, we need to be able to distribute that as a
AY: stand-alone that doesn't have problematic dependencies ...
AY: 
AY: Cheers,
AY: Wol

Just to be clear, when you say "run ANTLR" I'm assuming you don't mean "use
ANTLR" or "run an ANTLR generated parser".
