[antlr-interest] Lexer problem ( add ALLCHARS )

[max murmel]

Dear antlr-interests,

i trying to add to a lexer ALLCHARS but it do not work.
hir is my Lexer wich i use:

class UMLLexer extends Lexer;


options {
   k=4;
   defaultErrorHandler=false;
}

tokens {
   DIDENTIFIER;
   DIGITS;
   //ALLCHAR;
}

COLON: ':';
EQ: '=';

PLUS: '+';
POINTS: "..";
BRACKET_O: '(';
BRACKET_C: ')';
SQBRACKET_O: '[';
SQBRACKET_C: ']';
COMMA:',';
ID_START: "<?";
ID_END:'>';
NOT: "{not}";
INFINITE: "-1";
EXCLAMATIONMARK: '!';
OR: "|";
PUBLIC: "+";

PROTECTED: "#";
PACKAGE: "~";
RET: "^";
INTERSECT: "&&";
QUESTIONMARK: "?";
STEREOYTPE_START: "<<";
STEREOYTPE_END: ">>";
SPECIALS: "\\d"|"\\D"|"\\s"|"\\S"|"\\w"|"\\W"|".";
STAR: "*";

/*
IDENTIFIER: // geht noch nicht:|"<?" |"{not}"|'>'|'{'|'}'|
   //('_' | 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z')
   (NOT| 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | '0'..'9'|'*'|'!'|'['|']'|POINTS|ID_START 
(IDENTIFIER)* ID_END)+;
   */

           IDENTIFIER:
   ('_' | 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z')
   ('_' | 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | '0'..'9')*;

RANGED:
   ((('a'..'z') '-' ('a'..'z'))|
   (('A'..'Z') '-' ('A'..'Z'))|
   (('0'..'9') '-' ('0'..'9'))) (RANGED | IDENTIFIER)*;


DHANDLER:
   (('0'..'9')+ (IDENTIFIER)+)
       => (('0'..'9')+ (IDENTIFIER)+) { $setType(DIDENTIFIER); }
       | (('0'..'9')+  { $setType(DIGITS); });



PRIVATE: "-";

UNDERSCORE: "_";

ARBITARYLITERAL:
   '"' (~('"'|'\n'|'\r'))* '"';

WS : (' ') {$setType(Token.SKIP);};

NEWLINE
   :   '\r' '\n'   // DOS
   |   '\n'        // UNIX
   ;

  ALLCHARS:                              // <-- this is the funtion which I 
want add
   ( 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | 
'0'..'9'|'*'|'!'|'['|']'|NOT|POINTS|ID_START|ID_END)+
   ( 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | 
'0'..'9'|'*'|'!'|'['|']'|NOT|POINTS|ID_START|ID_END)*;
    i get always this error:
