and found a new problem... org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.Numbers has a parseInteger method which takes an AST class from antlr as first parameter. The method is used from the parser and I think it is for the parser mainly. Of course the new parser uses this method as well. The purpose is to parse things like "109G" and "0x1234".
The reason it has a AST parameter is for error reporting. You can use it with a null value, then there will be no error reporting. The reporting is done using ASTRuntimeException, which is one of our classes in the antlr package. For the parser only the error reporting version is interesting...but the new parser does not do that.
First of all...do we see that as public API? Because if not, I can change it freely... and I would like to change ASTRuntimeException. instead of using the AST I would like to use only line and column as parameters
