[antlr-interest] ANTLR 3 Eclipse Plugin

[Shmuel Siegel]

You focused on the output file. This is, as you say, harmless in a pure
eclipse environment. Nobody archives derived files, right?

But, we have created a structure for the input files. This can break
existing "ant task" based project structures.

I think it takes care of #3 as well -- adding an "antlr3-generated" dir
shouldn't conflict with anything existing, right?
