a bug(maybe fixed) on antlr grammer file

[Yang Jiang]

The file you have is the latest one. It hasn't been changed for a while.
Not sure why you get that result, but I just tried to parse your input 
with with ANTLRWorks 1.3(latest build) with no problem.
You can try to set up Java.g in ANTLRWorks and see how it works, 
following this link: 
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/compiler-grammar/antlrworks/index.html

Note that you have to start ANTLRWorks like this

java -Xmx1024m -jar ANTLRWorks.jar
then, go to ANTLRWorks' menu, File->Preference->ANTLR options, put 
-Xconversiontimeout 1000000 there, then try to run/debug your grammar.
