[antlr-interest] Interactive Editing with Antlr?

[Brian Smith]

The NetBeans people have a "lexer" module that they are building. 
Appartently it will be able to both ANTLR and JavaCC _lexers_, but it 
doesn't use them for parsing, AFAIK. I think they also use XML language 
descriptors like JEdit. There isn't much documentation You might ask 
them about their approach on their mailing lists (NBDEV). They also have 
a gateway newsgroup netbeans.nbdev on news.netbeans.org.

I actually hope to build a NetBeans module for a custom language I have 
created. I have already done the lexer and parser in ANTLR. If and when 
I do, I will let this list know.
