[antlr-interest] ANTLR 3 Eclipse Plugin

[scott at javadude.com]

Source/target will work for maven (or other command-line builders), but to
make things work properly in eclipse, I need to have it generate the java
files into a source dir in eclipse, which will then be compiled by the
java builder.

At work, I've set up a "generated" source folder for some other builders
I've worked on (I think it was for xmlbeans, or it might have been SMC -
oh -- that reminds me... I need to release my SMC builder!) I did the same
dir-mapping you mention here.

I'll have to see if I can set that up. I'd like to keep the dir structure
flexible so it doesn't force/preclude a specific command-line build
approach. (We use ant at my work, though there's been talk about switching
to maven). Maven's strict on dir structure, so I've gotta be sure I'm
friendly with it ;)

Later,
-- Scott
