Description Jaroslav Tulach 2003-01-12 08:37:23 UTC 
I have found problems using lexer (antlr part) and
even following documentation at 
http://lexer.netbeans.org/doc/lexer-generators.html#antlr
is almost impossible. 

I am going to create a branch and suggest some
changes.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-01-12 08:47:28 UTC 
To get the branch:

cd lexer
cvs upd -r uneasy_usage_29966
Comment 2 Jaroslav Tulach 2003-01-12 10:45:22 UTC 
Added support for testing of generated XXXLanguage class. Check:

lexer/demo/src/org/netbeans/modules/lexer/demo/PaneDemo.java,v  
revision: 1.2.8.1; 

lexer/src/org/netbeans/modules/lexer/antlr/antlrLangBuild.xml,v
revision: 1.2.6.3
Comment 3 Miloslav Metelka 2003-05-19 17:41:23 UTC 
In the last usability update that I've just commited into cvs I've
make EditorPaneDemo class that uses the code provided in the branch.

I'm marking this issue as fixed please reopen if necessary.
