[antlr-interest] New Target development; ActionScript3; Need Advice

[Aldo Bucchi]

HI all,

I find myself in the need of bulding an AS3 parser to power a
roundtrip code editor with syntax highlighting, auto completion,
etc....
I have basic experience with parser generation but building a target
is definitely over my head for now.... I would really appreciate some
guidance in the following points:

* Is antlr the correct choice for this task??
** That is: Grammar ---generate once---> AS3 Parser ----parse----> AST
** Any other simpler recommendations??
* Has anyone setup a comfortable environment for this process in
Eclipse? ( I will be building the runtime classes in eclipse so it
makes sense to have everything at hand... hopefully with some ant
tasks to ease testing )
* Does anyone have a simpler Target to base mine on?? ( Java has too
many dependencies and is too specific )
** Even though both Java and ActionScript3 share some commonalities in
terms of structure

I already read the article in the wiki but its a steep learning curve
. Any help appreciated.

BTW: Can I use a different target while generating code from within ANTLRWorks?

Thanks,
Aldo
