Look at the examples\java\multiLexer example. You have to create the
selector instance variable yourself or provide a public static class that
can hold it.

Subject: [antlr-interest] Token Streams, multiple lexers - how does
lexer access selector?
I am busy trying to set up multiple lexers to mimic lex/flex lexer
states.
In the antlr reference manual chapter on Token Streams, under Multiple
Lexers, the following example lexer fragment is given to "switch to the
JavaDoc lexer":
JAVADOC_OPEN
: "/**" {selector.push("doclexer");}
;
My question is: how does the lexer java class generated by antlr know
about selector, which is an antlr.TokenStreamSelector? I mean, other
than editing the generated lexer class source files manually. I don't
see anything that is intended to do this automatically, nor do I see a
way to embed code in the generated parser or lexer files. Thus the
reference the method call "selector.push(...)" prevents my lexer class
from compiling unless I edit it manually to have a selector instance
variable and an accessor method to set it.
Thanks.
