[antlr-interest] gUnit (Aug 20, 2007) incompatible with ANTLR 3.1b intermediate builds

[Leon Su]

Hi Ana,
Current gUnit is only compatible with latest ANTLR official version  
3.0.1 or version 3.0.
It does has the incompatible problem with the latest intermediate  
builds such as antlr-2007-12-31.17.
The problem will be solved in the next release of gunit, and sorry  
for the inconvenience.
Thanks for addressing the issue.

To Adam:
gUnit only supports Java as the target language currently, and the  
source is included in the gunit.jar as Ana mentioned.
