[antlr-interest] Changing Token Names

["Paul Bouché (NSN)"]

Hi,

I would like to change the token names for error display.

I used have this:
value : simpleValue | '{' property '}';
where a token type for the curly braces was created by ANTLR (T_XXX), 
but if it was missing then in the error message a '{' was generated 
because for that token in the Java target tokenNames contained a '{'.
Now I needed to create tokens for the brackets, but I would still like 
the tokenName display as '{'. I solve this now by a static initializer 
which alters the tokenNames array - this is kind of a hack - is there 
another way? In ANTLR v2 there was the paraphrase option?

Thanks,
Paul
