Change the codegenerator ;)

Not 100% sure but think it depends on java's behaviour for the
platform for that.

Nope, not without code changes.

In antlr3 you could probably tinker with some of the codegeneration
templates to get something more to your liking. With antlr2 you'd
probably be better of sticking to a postprocessor.
