I use Netbeans and have posted how to configure it on this list in the
past. You should be able to search and find it.

However, in a nutshell:

1) Install the antlr3 ant task (see downloads) in to the dir: C:\Program
Files\NetBeans 6.1\java2\ant\lib
2) Create a new project
3) Right click on libraries, add library, create, create a library
called ANTLR3 (or whatever), then add the Jars (and docs and source is
even better) to this library definition. In future you can just add the
library.
4) Add a .g file
5) Open the build.xml for your project
6) Add some property defs and a -pre-compile task (there are other ways
but this is easy), as per the antlr3 ant task docs.
7) Right click project and build


build.xml will look something like this:

 <property name="grammar.dir"
location="src/com/temporalwave/parsers/tsql/" />
    <property name="antlr.libdir" location="C:/antlrsrc/lib" />
    <property name="antlr.tooldir" location="C:/antlrsrc/lib" />
    <property name="antlr.runtimedir" location="C:/antlrsrc/lib" />
    
    
     <patternset id="antlr.libs">
        <include name="stringtemplate-3.1.jar" />
        <include name="antlr277.jar" />
    </patternset>

    <patternset id="antlr.tool">
        <include name="ANTLRTool.jar" />
    </patternset>

    <patternset id="antlr.runtime">
        <include name="ANTLRRuntime.jar" />
    </patternset>

    <path id="antlr.path">


        <fileset dir="${antlr.tooldir}" casesensitive="yes">
           <patternset refid="antlr.tool" />
        </fileset>
                
        <fileset dir="${antlr.runtimedir}" casesensitive="yes">
           <patternset refid="antlr.runtime" />
        </fileset>
        
        <fileset dir="${antlr.libdir}" casesensitive="yes">
           <patternset refid="antlr.libs" />
        </fileset>
    </path>
    
    <target name="-pre-compile">
                
        <antlr:antlr3 xmlns:antlr="antlib:org/apache/tools/ant/antlr" 

            target="${grammar.dir}/tsqllexer.g" 
               depend="true">

            <classpath>

                <path refid="antlr.path" />

            </classpath>

        </antlr:antlr3>
        
        <antlr:antlr3 xmlns:antlr="antlib:org/apache/tools/ant/antlr" 

            target="${grammar.dir}/tsql.g" 
               depend="true" >

            <classpath>

                <path refid="antlr.path" />

            </classpath>

        </antlr:antlr3>

                <antlr:antlr3
xmlns:antlr="antlib:org/apache/tools/ant/antlr" 

            target="${grammar.dir}/tsqlwalker.g" 
               depend="true" >

            <classpath>

                <path refid="antlr.path" />

            </classpath>

        </antlr:antlr3>
        
    </target>
