I'm sorry, but with or without fork attribute, fork="no" or "false"
or "yes" or "true", all give the same exception.
For the same setup, running antlr.Tool class through <java>
task runs fine without any exceptions:
<java classname="antlr.Tool">
<arg value="-o"/>
<arg value="${build.dir}/${parser.pkg.dir}/antlr"/>
<arg value="src/parsergrammars/antlr_aliases.g"/>
</java>
But then I would miss the dep. checking done in <antlr> task
and would have to use <uptodate> task (which is not as elegant
to use if there are more than 1 targetfiles).
