I forgot to mention that you are going to need the ANTLR 2.7.7 and the
StringTemplate 3.0.1 jars in your classpath too.

Example:

java -classpath "D:\Install
Files\ANTLR\antlr-source\bin";"D:\path\to\antlr-2.7.7.jar";"D:\path\to\strin
gtemplate-3.0.jar"  org.antlr.Tool


Your ANTLR3 bin directory will also need the resources such as the .sti,
.stg files etc. If it doesn't have to files, add the toplevel source
directory to your class path *after* the 'bin'. It would find the files that
way.

Example:

java -classpath "D:\Install
Files\ANTLR\antlr-source\bin";"D:\path\to\antlr-2.7.7.jar";"D:\path\to\strin
gtemplate-3.0.jar";"D:\Install Files\ANTLR\antlr-source\src"  org.antlr.Tool
