Subject: Re: Can anyone give me a help about developing antlr formatter

The work in progress is on the "mavenize" branch here -
https://github.com/timboudreau/ANTLR4-Plugins-for-NetBeans - It is 44
modules (comprising generic support for generating most of a plugin for any
Antlr grammar from annotations, and then in antlr-editing-plugins, a suite
of modules for Antlr itself) :-)

There *was* an Antlr formatter, but this project started with working on an
exiting Antlr plugin I forked, evolved into generic Antlr support, and I'm
now in the process of reassembling the original Antlr-editing-only module
to eat my own dogfood, as a set of modules with all the features of the
original, plus lots more (like live-syntax highlighting of files in the
language of the grammar you're editing, which get updated when you edit the
grammar, visual syntax trees and more - one of the biggest PITA's of Antlr
development is writing a rule that overrides another rule and not knowing
it until long after you broke it and then trying to figure out *what* broke
it, so instant feedback as you edit a grammar is a necessity).

I haven't add formatting back in yet, though.  But I'll keep you posted.

-Tim
