[antlr-interest] Need some advice which ANTLR versions should be used for my project (Target: Java or Python)

[Stefan Mätje (d)]

Thanks to all responders.

I'll try to use Java as a target language and see how far I get.

BTW. PEARL as input language wasn't a typo. PEARL is an acronym for
Process and Experiment Automation Realtime Language and quite different from 
PERL.
