Hi all,
I've moved our code generating the ANTLR grammars to Eclipse.org,
since that was all clean EPL code developed by us.
Also the call to the ANTLR code generator is now done via reflection
(i.e. no compile time dependency anymore).
Furthermore the various ANTLR fragments are now asking the user to
download the ANTLR generator from an itemis website, if it cannot be
found on the classpath. If the user agrees, the jar is downloaded,
stored locally, dynamically added to the classpath and executed.
If they don't agree with downloading they are referred to the packrat
parser alternative.
This change finally allows users to have fun with Xtext versions
downloaded from eclipse.org, which don't have the non-approved ANTLR
parser generator.
The reason for this change is that the Eclipse Foundation asked us to
remove all the download links to the itemis website but instead use
eclipse.org downloads, which is now possible. :-)
I've installed the nightly builds into a vanilla eclipse and
everything seems to work nicely.
Sven
