[antlr-interest] ANTLR ActionScript target broken | ANTLR 3.3 fail to compile : antlr3-maven-archetype does not exist

[Stefan]

Since the ActionScript target is buggy, I tried to compile ANTLR 3.3.

Installed Maven, set the PATH, and followed the instructions to compile ANTLR.

While I actually can maven subproject like gunit, I fail to maven the ANTLR folder.
I mean the main pm.xml. Get this error:

   [ERROR]     Child module /Users/KKK/Desktop/Neuer Ordner 4/antlr-3 2.3/antlr3-maven-archetype 
		of /Users/KKK/Desktop/Neuer Ordner 4/antlr-3 2.3/pom.xml does not exist

Part of the ANTLR distribution is antlr3-maven-plugin.

Since BUILD.txt states that building ANTLR is trivial, I wonder, I forgot to perform 
a trivial step ;-)

Could someone assist?

Stefan
