Hi,
Is there a package to generate the font-locking and indentation engine
from an antlr source-file?

I don't think the ANTLR source is sufficient, but it would be interesting
to know if someone has worked on doing that (with some side help to know
what non-terminal deserves highlighting, for example).
Maybe a first step would be to generate a Semantic description and/or
to setup the syntax-table.

I thought about it a bit more, but it really is something that should be
build into Antlr itself. I mean, parsing the file and creating
emacs-mode code from it instead of java code should be more trivial than
creating a elisp function that parses the antlr source from scratch.
But I'll think about it. Thanks for your reply.
