[antlr-interest] Modifying a target language template file for AntlrWorks

[Ron Hunter-Duvar]

Hi Alan,

I found this page to be very helpful as a starting point:

    
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/How+to+build+an+ANTLR+code+generation+target

I've been able to make some simple changes to the Java target using 
these instructions. The hard part is trying to unravel the convoluted 
flow of the templates to be able to make meaningful changes. Due to 
StringTemplate's ability to use indirection (call a template whose name 
is stored in a variable), it is sometimes nearly impossible to tell 
where a template is used (or whether it is used at all).
