[stringtemplate-interest] Setting the default lexer on the common group loader

[ed ed]

Hello, 
I've been playing around with StringTemplate 3.2 and enjoying it greatly.

When I started I began using the $ as my expression delimiter. This was working great while developing locally. 

I'm now trying to generate a .jar within which I have my bundled Templates. The docs state that you need to use CommonGroupLoader for jar files. (http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ST/Group+Files). However the default lexer token for groups is the Angle bracket (<>).

I can see in the docs how to change the delimiter for a template group that I'm creating  a new instance of: 
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ST/Setting+the+expression+delimiters

But I don't know how to change the default delimiter when using the comon group loader.

This is what I'm trying:
StringTemplateGroupLoader loader = new CommonGroupLoader(FOLDER, new ErrorListener() );
StringTemplateGroup.registerGroupLoader(loader);
StringTemplateGroup.registerDefaultLexer(DefaultTemplateLexer.class);
StringTemplateGroup group = StringTemplateGroup.loadGroup("classgroup");
StringTemplate template = group.getInstanceOf("classGenerator");
template.setAttribute("config", "config" );
log.info(template.toString() );

For a template like so:
group classgroup;

classGenerator(config,setup) ::= <<
    hello $config$
    hello "config"
    hello <config>
 >>

I get:
hello $config$
hello "config"
hello config

The closest thing I've found is this:

Any tips greatly appreciated,
Best,
Ed
