Mounting either the source directory or the jar for ANTLR 2.7.1 causes
endless string index exceptions from the java parser, rendering the
use of the ANTLR package impossible (for me).

I guess this is some kind of problem with parser related code, because
the ANTLR 2.7.1 source compiles fine.

Please verify that all lines in the package are < 2048 characters
long; javac' parser we use has this limitation (it packs line:column
pair into a long value).

I too get a very similar parsing error (my index is -32 
though) - If I disable "annotate errors" by setting the 
limit to 0, the problem goes away (of course, then the 
error annotation is disabled)   It only happens with 
certain files, but with them it happens all the time.

When it does, I have to close the editor window as it 
appears to be in an infinite loop.

There does not appear to be anything wrong with the 
source file - a rather simple ejb - I can send the source 
along if that would help debug/fix this problem.

Ah, I found a line in the source that WAS larger then 
2048 - wrapped that one, and the problem is now gone ...

Ok, so this issue is duplicate of issue #18582
