[antlr-interest] Problems defining StringLiteral processing in a grammar

[Jared Bunting]

The plugin from codehaus (I'm assuming this based on version 1.0) 
doesn't support antlr 3.1 and later.  The code has since been merged 
into the antlr project.

Instead, use:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
  <artifactId>antlr3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.1.1.2</version>
</plugin>
