Maven ANTLR Plugin
Here, I explain how to use maven ANTLR (version 3.x) plug-in using a simple example.
Add the following description to your pom.xml file:
<!--
with this configurartion, from your ANTLR3 grammar files (*.g) in the folder
src/main/java/**/*.g, Java lexer/parser/treewalker files will be generated.
-->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.xerial.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antlr-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<!-- dependencies required to run ANTLR-generated lexer/parser -->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.xerial.thirdparty</groupId>
<artifactId>org.antlr.antlr3</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
How to Regenerate Lexer/Parsers from the Grammar
Run the following command in your project folder, in which your pom.xml is placed:
