I'd already searched on Google and found 1 thread from 2010-04, which
said people wanting to use Antlr 3 were basically on their own -- I
understand your reasons.

Gradleware really should provide support for a version of Antlr that has
been around for 5 years or more.  More importantly there should be a
note in the documentation that only the ancient 2.7.7 version or earlier
is supported, until this is fixed.

But then if Gradle only supports 2.7.7 I don't see why the antlr
possibility in the dependencies section -- it implies, by reasoning with
the groovy entry, that the Antlr version is a free variable.

Looks like I have to use Maven :-((

I'll go grump somewhere in a corner ;-)
