[antlr-interest] Clarification

[Yann Gauteron]

Hi Bryan,

Answer is yes to both questions. When correctly coded, Java apps are
OS agnostic.

JAR is a Java package file (in fact a ZIP archive containing your Java classes).

As a very first prerequisites, you'll need to download and install the
Sun Java JDK (or JRE if you don't intend to develop and compile your
own Java apps).

Regarding the ANTLRworks, if I remember correctly when you double
click the .jar, it will install ANTLR on your PC.

Regarding the ANTLR, if I remember correctly, there is no installation
process in the .jar, so you have to put your file on your filesystem
and modify the CLASSPATH accordingly (this is what I did).

I think you can very easily install ANTLRworks with this information.
For ANTLR, I would recommand "googling" a little bit to find how to
install it correctly and "link" it with your JDK/JRE in a proper way.
Maybe someone else can be more verbose than I and provide you a better
answer for ANTLR.

Anyway, you don't have to install Linux for using ANTLR and/or
ANTLRworks. I works under Windows with the Sun's JDK/JRE.
