For complete information, see How to use ant with ANTLR3.

  1. download ant-antlr3 task from
    http://www.antlr.org/share/1169924912745/antlr3-task.zip
  2. copy to where ant can see it. My mac:
    $ sudo cp /usr/local/lib/ant-antlr3.jar /usr/share/ant/lib/
    my linux box:
    $ sudo cp /tmp/ant-antlr3.jar /usr/local/apache-ant-1.8.1/lib/
    Then, this
    $ ant -diagnostics
    should show:
    -------------------------------------------
     ANT_HOME/lib jar listing
    -------------------------------------------
    ant.home: /usr/share/ant
    ant-antlr.jar (5758 bytes)
    ant-antlr3.jar (20628 bytes)   <---------
    ...
    
  3. make sure antlr2, antlr3, ST are in classpath. All in one is here:
    http://antlr.org/download/antlr-3.3-complete.jar
  4. use in build.xml
