[antlr-interest] Checking composite grammars with ANTLRworks

Hi!

I have a grammar that imports many subgrammars, which in turn import 
other sub-grammars. Now, via command-line, ANTLR reports about 
ambiguities (displayed as a list of NFA states). Now, in order to 
visualize this ambiguity warning in ANTLR, I tried ANTLRworks. However, 
this seems to have problems with imported grammars, as it checks the 
root grammar in one second and does not report any ambiguity warnings 
(whereas the command-line antlr takes several minutes). What can I do? 
Note that getting at the ambiguity warnings by "generating code" from 
inside ANTLRworks is not possible, as I need an option 
-Xconversiontimeout in order to build anything.

Best Regards,
Andreas Meyer
