It isn't necessary to rebuild ANTLR. The StringTemplate files are
entirely independent (with the exception of the data model) from ANTLR.
I suppose that it is only necessary to find in Java.stg the template
which is responsible for the parser code and remove there the final
keyword. A simple search for final in Java.stg should show the suitable one.
