Better for whom?.
Certainly not for those who need to support JDK1.2/1.3/1.4.

It would but, I won't labour the point since ANTLR3's architecture
simplifies the development of code generators. Supporting all the different
JDKs (and any new ones) is significantly easier.
I'm looking forward to your Prashant_JDK_5_only codegen... ;-)
