Xuefu Zhang commented on PIG-1618:
----------------------------------
Yes, Pig now requires antlr jars and the dependency is set on ivy. Make sure
that you're on the latest trunk. If you go to the top-level directory and do
"ant jar", it should get all the required jars thru ivy. Dependency on
"lib/antlr-3.2.jar" used to be there, but now these jars are pulled by ivy.
I'm not sure if this is the best place for this discussion. If the problem
remains, you can send an email on pig user list to get help there.

> There are many bugs in Pig related to the parser, particularly to bad error
> messages. After review of Java CC we feel these will be difficult to address
> using that tool. Also, the .jjt files used by JavaCC are hard to understand
> and maintain.
> ANTLR is being reviewed as the most likely choice to move to, but other
> parsers will be reviewed as well.
> This JIRA will act as an umbrella issue for other parser issues.
