[GRADLE-2480] Antlr plugin doesn't work Created: 16/Sep/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

 Description   

I'm using the SimpleCalc example from http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Five+minute+introduction+to+ANTLR+3. I copied the grammar into src/main/antlr/SimpleCalc.g

Here's my build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'antlr'
apply plugin: 'java'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

When I try to build, gradle complains:

:generateGrammarSource
bug/src/main/antlr/SimpleCalc.g:1:1: unexpected token: grammar
error: Token stream error reading grammar(s):
bug/src/main/antlr/SimpleCalc.g:10:1: unexpected char: '@'

The same grammar compiles just fine using the org.antlr.Tool directly from the antlr jar files.

I've now tried the antlr plugin on various grammars, from the most trivial to modestly complex and it consistently fails for every single one. I also tried specifying the latest antlr version thus:

dependencies {
    antlr 'org.antlr:antlr:3.4'
}

Unfortunately, this doesn't change the behavior either.

I guess the underlying problem is support for antlr v3, which is a known issue. Feel free to mark as duplicate or link to a more appropriate issue; at this point, lack of antlrv3 is a blocker for me.
