This problem is fixed with ANTLR 2.7.2a1 or later. It's more a problem
of the JRE because of some huge static blocks generated by ANTLR.

BTW, I'm currently developing yet another Java Source Code Formatter
and already implemented a Javadoc parser. It's heavily based upon the
HTML 3.2 grammar that ships with ANTLR and works quite good albite not
the way you outline in your mail (I don't use multi-plexing). Anyway,
if you want to download the sources and take a look, visit
