[antlr-interest] gUnit (Aug 20, 2007) incompatible with ANTLR 3.1b intermediate builds

[Adam Connelly]

One thing I'd be interested in finding out about is the compatibility with
different languages other than Java.  I get the feeling at the moment that
to use gUnit you have to use antlr to generate java sources that you then
compile and pass to gUnit (although I could be wrong).  Are there any plans
to support other languages (i.e. C# :)) or to make it language agnostic
(which I suspect will be a non-starter).

It's just that I'd like to use something like gUnit for testing my grammars,
but don't want to have to generate them for different target languages just
for the sake of testing (although even that's probably easier than writing
my own unit tests all the time).

Is the gUnit source in a downloadable place that I could take a look at if I
get a chance?
