[antlr-interest] ANTLRWorks 1.0ea4 available!

[eric nelson]

Thanks for your hard work on this Jean :) I should mention though that I
have so far had some trouble using it. I downloaded the latest version
today, and at startup a java.g grammar file loaded automatically. Is that
java.g file valid? Is it an ANTLR 3.0 grammar? I don't know the difference
to be honest (kinda new), but I am getting an error when I try to generate
code:
 "Cannot generate the grammar because:
000:000: syntax error:buildnfa:<AST>:0:0:unexpected end of subtreebuildnfa"
.. etc
 There are numerous red squiggly lines underneath the rule references
throughout the grammar file. In this block:
 // Package statement: "package" followed by an identifier.
packageDefinition
options {defaultErrorHandler = true;} // let ANTLR handle errors
: p:"package"^ {#p.setType(PACKAGE_DEF);} identifier SEMI!
;
 "packageDefinition" is underlined with a red squiggly. I noticed that it
has been labeled or referenced as simply "p" elsewhere, including in the
list of rules and tokens in the region to the left (region 1).
 By the way, I am using Windows XP.
 Oh, and the emacs key bindings that were discussed in the
antlrworks.pdfdon't work; however, the "ctrl + spacebar" does bring up
the autocompletion
list, also "alt + F7" does list usages correctly as far as I can tell ;)
 Any thoughts? Anyone?
 Thanks,
