We would need to see your complete lexer definition before I can tell you what is wrong with it. It is standard lexer stuff to do this:

ABSTRACT : 'abstract' ;
ID : ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'| '_') ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'| '_'| '0'..'9')* ;

If your lexer rules were exactly as you show, then it would work fine without warnings as v3 knows how to deal with such things.
