[antlr-interest] ParseView and/or another debugging tool.

[Sinan]

The following appeared in Netbeans antlr project mail list. I think we
should get more
involved with Netbeans as a tool to use antlr with. I'm dying to get
involved with this
project but am currently crippled by the learning curve.

Any comments?

BTW , see the end for more issues.

Antlr provides hooks for debugging (using the -debug command line
switch) and
this should be integrated into the antlr module.
An debugger called ParseView, written by Scott Stanchfield
(mailto:scott at javadude.com), provides a baseline for functionality
needed.
Although this tool is out of date, I have modified (hacked) it so that
it will
run under JDK1.3 and Antlr 2.7.1.
The development can proceed in two directions. If Scott is willing to
contribute
his code to the netbeans open source repository, that could be used as a
starting point. Otherwise, a debugger can be written from scratch,
perhaps
referring to Scott's implementation as a 'HOWTO'.
The latter option may be best to take advantage of the netbeans debugger
infrastructure.
