[antlr-interest] 4.0 daily builds

[Terence Parr]

Hi. antlr-4.0ea-complete.jar Should have everything you need. just add it to the class path.  When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean?

check out these examples I just posted

http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR4/Examples

I'm sort of keeping a list of stuff to fix and add here:

http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/~admin/TODO+list

I don't really have a changes list at this point. I will do a global diff at some point.

Yep, we will definitely need updated documentation and so on. There will be a full formal release eventually and I'm even thinking about rebuilding the website. a book update will be necessary.

The most obvious differences with v4 are:

* (directly) left recursive grammars that works great for expressions
* modes in the lexer
* the lexer rules behave as you'd expect lexer rules to behave now
* it takes any grammar you give it that isn't indirectly left recursive; there are no static grammar analysis errors
