cd src/
javac -d . org/antlr/Tool.java org/antlr/*/*.java org/antlr/*/*/*.java

This was before the Java runtime stuff has been moved to a seperate dir. I
haven't updated my Makefiles yet - you'll probably have to complile the
runtime first.

Then you'll find the .class files in the same directories as the .java
files. If you add the path to src/ to the classpath when invoking
org.antlr.Tool, Java will use these files and ANTLR looks for the templates
in src/org/antlr/codegen/templates/.. - where you can edit them directly.
