Do parser and lexer have the same opinion about the values of tokens? You
can check in the generated xxxtokentype files. If not make sure to first
run the lexer through antlr then the parser. If that's not the case try
building the parser with antlr -traceParser <yourfile> then rerun the
example you now should have some trace output with token values (I hope :)
not so familiar with these things on the java side) and see from there.

Cheers,

Ric

 Why don't we just invite them to dinner and massacre them all when they're
  drunk? You heard the man. There's seven hundred thousand of them. Ah? ..
           So it'd have to be something simple with pasta, then.
