Hi Anatol, Yeah,All of that is a mess and I keep thinking that what I'd like to do is create grammar repository at antlr.org that the ANTLR development environments could pull from like plug-ins.
Alas, I've so many responsibilities that take precedence, it's hard for me to allocate the time to do that.
