Hello,

i'm currently writing a Pascal like language grammar for an editor with 
intellisense like features.
It is important that the tree is constructed roughly correct despite possible 
errors in the code.
Thats the point where i'm facing some issues with my ANTLR parser.
I already solved some cases but the main problems is that ANTLR collapses my 
AST completely to a single error token if some kinds of mismatches happen.


Exapmle:

while_statement
      : WHILE^ expression DO
              statement_section
              END_WHILE
      ;


if i have any kind of correct surrounding code (or none) and simply start 
typing a new while statement in my editor the parser reduces my complete AST to 
a single error token as long as this single statement is incomplete:


<mismatched token: [@11,48:48='<EOF>',<-1>,9:0], 
resync=...correctcode...while...correctcode...>


As those mismatches happen in various other szenarios i would like to know if 
theres a way to make antlr simply put the error token at the point where the 
first mismatch happend instead of making the whole code a mismatch.
I was thinking of changing the recovery but as i'm still new to antlr i don't 
really know what should/could be done there.


I hope someone can help me
Georg
