Hi Jody,

Just replying to you because I think my reply would bounce from the

PMC list. Please feel free to forward anything that's useful...

If I understand Michael correctly he is interested in the following course

of action:

Jiffle

<-- Antlr Runtime 4

<-- Antlr StringTemplate 4 <-- Antlr Runtime 3.5

That's right, but if that's not acceptable I'm happy to try using

FreeMarker or similar as a fallback. I'm sure we could make it work.

I'll just sit tight until we work out what is most acceptable.

Aside: I really do not understand why Antlr insists of depend ending on

older versions of itself :(

I've never asked directly but I think it's just an accident of

circumstance: Terence updated StringTemplate from v3 to v4 before

ANTLR 4 took shape.

Michael
