You don't want that anyway as your nodes will not have token start and
stop information and you might need that.
method_declaration
: method_header method_body
;
method_body
: (
';'!
| '{'! statement_list? '}'!
)
-> ^(METHOD_BODY statement_list?)
;
method_header
: attributes ID etc
->^(METHOD_HEADER attributes ID )
