There's no need to know Java except that you should be able to install a
JRE or JDK. Antlr 2.7.5 has been tested with javac, jikes and gcj.

Not necessary as there are binary distros for Windows, Linux, Cygwin. If
you are really unhappy with them, go ahead and build from scratch.

There's no particular need for this (and Luca's Makefile is not in sync
with 2.7.5 anyway).
Note that ANTLR's binary distro contains
bin/antlr.bat (Windows)
bin/antlr.sh (Unix)
as a convinient way to run the ANTLR compiler. Again, Java is required
to execute both scripts.

Which RPM are you using, what dependency meltdown do you mean. Which
Linux are you using???
