[antlr-interest] Building ANTLR v3.2 from source.

[Mark Wright]

As Jim already answered, the solution is in the archives:

http://www.antlr.org/pipermail/antlr-interest/2009-December/037106.html

After applying that fix, for me it failed like:

[INFO] [plugin:descriptor {execution: default-descriptor}]

My fix for that was to rm the file it was complaining about:

rm /h/goanna/2/j/antlr/antlr-3.2/antlr3-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/antlr/mojo/antlr3/._Antlr3ErrorLog.java

Then similar failures for more files, I rm'd these too:

com.thoughtworks.qdox.parser.ParseException: syntax error @[1,9] in file:/h/goanna/2/j/antlr/antlr-3.2/antlr3-maven-plugin/src/main/java/org/antlr/mojo/antlr3/._Antlr3Mojo.java

Then this failure:

That is mentioned in BUILD.txt, just try it again, then it works.
