[antlr-interest] whitespaces in middle of rule

[sudip mitra]

will any newbee tell me about the how worthy that tutorial at www.geocities.com/antlrtutorial is. A lot of em are not newbees in this group but helps to know about any lack of 
explanation . There arent any newbee tutorials on ANTLR (I HAD A HECK OF A TIME FINDING THEM...THOUGH TERENCE'S DRAFT CHAPTERS HAD NOT APPEARED THEN...I FORGOT !!!THERE IS MATERIAL BORROWED  FROM TERENCE"S DRAFT CHAPTERS ...HOPE HE DOES NOT SUE ME FOR THIS ...)
and I am keen to take this forward or take it off the web.

such as a Java import statement i.e.

import aaaa.bbbb.cccc.*;

so I set up a grammar similar to this

import_statement:
"import" IDENT (DOT (IDENT | STAR))* SEMI
;

The problem is that the rule will validate statments filled with 
spaces, such as this

import aaaa . bbbb . cccc . *;

How do I make sure my import statements do not have any spaces? I 
notice that the example under antlr/examples/java exhibit this
problem.
