I concur.

Specifically, I really like the idea of moving to a more dynamic runtime
ANTLR engine than just statically generated code.


However, I've talked with a handful of people who have decided to go with
JavaCC and one of their big reasons was this antlr.jar issue.  Yes, I think
that's completely insane but there you go.

Take care,
