[antlr-interest] ANTLR 3 and Maven 3

[Jim Idle]

Antlr is only 2.2.1 compliant itself. However, there is a bug in the 3.3
archetype and you have to generate using the 3.2.1 archetype and then
change the generated pom to use 3.3 afterwards. I think that the plugin
MIGHT work with Maven 3.0.3 but no guarantees. You are better using Maven
2.2.1 and then upgrading to 3.0.3 when we upgrade ANTLR to that release.
