Hi Andreas, Backporting antlr4 implies backporting antlr 3.5.2 and stringtemplate 4 as well. The tricky part is the circular dependency between stringtemplate 4 and antlr 3.5.2. If you are going to backport antlr 3.5.2 the easiest solution would be to cheat a bit and build it in an environment where libstringtemplate4-java is already is installed. Once you have antlr 3.5.2 for Jessie you can rebuild stringtemplate4. Also note that antlr 3.5.2 will break jython in Jessie (it has to be switched to antlr3.2 to preserve the compatibility).
