The freely available grammars are not all distributed with ANTLR. You
can find them here:

and there is also one for PL/SQL.
For XML it's usually completely sufficient to use a normal XML parser,
like the one that comes with the Java SDK, or any choice of the freely
available ones. An XML parser usually creates a DOM Tree or a list of
SAX events which you can then handle in your application.

Writing an XML parser is a very bad idea. There are high quality parsers
available and XML parsing can be surprisingly tricky sometimes...
