Eric Milles updated GROOVY-8547:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
It seems to me the selection of the Antlr2 or Antlr4 parser could be 
implemented within a default implementation of {{ParserPluginFactory}} instead 
of introducing {{ParserVersion}} with separate get/set on 
{{CompilerConfiguration}}. I don't see the need for static factory methods 
{{antlr2()}} and {{antlr4()}} on {{ParserPluginFactory}}, their use from 
{{CompilerConfiguration}} and the strange class loading in 
{{ParserPluginFactory}}.

The factory pattern appears to me to be side-stepped in favor of a version 
constant. Is there still meaning in offering a config option of setting a 
{{ParserPluginFactory}}? Has this been used ever in the past?

Couldn't this suffice for a default in {{CompilerConfiguration}}? Then 
{{ParserVersion}} could be dropped.
{code:java}
    public ParserPluginFactory getPluginFactory() {
        if (pluginFactory == null) {
            pluginFactory = new ParserPluginFactory() {
                @Override
                public ParserPlugin createParserPlugin() {
                    return Boolean.getBoolean(GROOVY_ANTLR4_OPT)
                        ? ParserPluginFactory.antlr4().createParserPlugin()
                        : ParserPluginFactory.antlr2().createParserPlugin();
                }
            }              
        }
        return pluginFactory;
    }
{code}
