Ter, I'm not an antlr expert, but I will say that Oracle no longer even supports versions of the JDK that do not support generics in their major code bases anymore. For example, NetBeans 6.9 actually requires JDK 6.
So, in my view, it's pretty reasonable to use them. I actually prefer it, as it reduces warnings in the code.
