[antlr-interest] Java 1.5 grammar updated

[Stuart Watt]

This is the same as the grammar rule in the Java spec at: 
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/syntax.doc.html

I was surprised by this, and being curious, I just successfully compiled 
a Java source file containing only a single semicolon. It seems a bit  
pointless to me, but it is valid Java!

All the best
Stuart
