Interpreted!?!? Whoever said that ? I've always been under the impression
that this would be a language-to-language translation. If performance is an
aim for ANTLR 3 then interpreted is definitely not the way to go.

For C++ support in ANTLR 3 calling/interfacing java from C++ looks to me
personally a total non option. A tool requiring java for a generated parser
targetted for C++, sounds like a tool I personally would give a very wide
berth. Requiring java for development I can tolerate ;)

 Why don't we just invite them to dinner and massacre them all when they're
  drunk? You heard the man. There's seven hundred thousand of them. Ah? ..
           So it'd have to be something simple with pasta, then.
