Building OpenJFX with errors: ANTLR missing

[Kevin Rushforth]

I just tried this and it works fine for me doing the following:

1. Run the following commands:

hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master
cd master
hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master/rt
mkdir lib

2. Put the following three files into master/lib (as stated on the Wiki):

    * antlr-3.1.3.jar
    * antlr-runtime-3.1.3.jar
    * stringtemplate-3.2.jar


3. Set JFXRT_HOME to the "jre" directory containing the latest build of 
FX, for example:

    export JFXRT_HOME=/path/to/jdk8-b78/jre

4. Run "ant" from the master directory.
