Hi Sam,

I have something like the following in my projects:

                <plugin>
				<groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
				<artifactId>antlr3-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>3.1.1.2</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>antlr</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
			</plugin>

Doing a maven build on a project puts stuff into
my-module/target/generated-sources/antlr and either Eclipse /
M2Eclipse or myself edited the project classpath to reference the
generated classes.

Cheers,

James
