[antlr-interest] Selection between lexer rule and literal

[togol machillan]

Hello,

I have a rule in the lexer which looks like the following.

VALUE  options {testLiterals = true; }
       :CAPITAL_LETTER (CAPITAL_LETTER|DIGIT|','|':'|'+'|'-')* 
       ;

In the parser, I have defined a list of literals like the following example rule

p_keyword_list returns [ANTLR_USE_NAMESPACE(std)string k]
			  :
			   (
			   {k = LT(1)->getText(); col = LT(1)->getColumn();} "COMPONENTS"
			   |{k = LT(1)->getText(); col = LT(1)->getColumn();} "DATABANKS"
			   |{k = LT(1)->getText(); col = LT(1)->getColumn();} "PROP-SOURCES"
			   )
                          ;

Now when some parser rule is looking for a VALUE token and it sees, for example, COMPONENTS, it returns an unexpected token error. It there some way of making the parser intelligent enough so that it considers COMPONENTS (defined as a literal) as a token of type VALUE. 

Best regards,

T. Mach
