I have the same problem with the outline view in my
ANTLR grammar editor
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/antlreclipse/ ).
While a user is modifying the grammar code the
according outline is truncated.
Did you found a way to skip this "incomplete code"
while lexing/parsing?

I'm interested too ;-)


Cheers,
