[antlr-interest] ANTLRworks errors debugging fuzzy grammars

[Jean Bovet]

That's because the FuzzyJava.g target language is Python. From  
ANTLRWorks itself, only the Java target language is supported in the  
debugger. However, if you can generate the parser outside ANTLRWorks  
and then use the Debug > Connect feature to connect the AW debugger  
to it.

Concerning the code generation, I will have a look. That's true that  
I actually restrict the output language to be Java but I'll double- 
check.

Regards,

Jean
