[antlr-interest] ANTLR building and Maven 2

[Jim Idle]

Did you look in: http://antlr.markmail.org/ where the problem you have with the build is answered a number of times? Next release will solve that problem.

How to win friends and influence people - sigh. You did of course visit:

http://www.antlr.org/antlr3-maven-plugin/index.html

Which, if you managed to find the Maven plugin at all, would direct you to that page, which I happen to think is pretty well written, provides all the Maven required elements and is pretty much fool proof.

You noticed that there is a generator that gives you a working project right? A 10 second google search will point you at:

http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Building+ANTLR+Projects+with+Maven

If you have any pointers to why this does not give you step by step instructions, please let me know and I will try and make it more foolproof.
