[antlr-interest] different behavoir ANTLRworks and ANTLR

[Markus Kuhla]

Hi,

yes ANTLRworks writes this error to the console but could also generate 
the scanner/parser sources. The GUI itself gave no message.

But if I only used ANTLR from a terminal, or used the ANTLR libraries to 
generate scanner/parser from another Java program, then the generation 
stopped after this error, and nothing was generated.

Regards,
Markus
