Which ANTLR to use with 3.0 M1?

[skaffman]

Which version of ANTLR are we supposed to use with Spring 3.0 M1? It must be some version of ANTLR 3, given the org.antlr package space, but it doesn't work with antlr-runtime 3.1:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: ruleMemo
        at org.springframework.beans.BeanUtils.instantiateClass(BeanUtils.java:142)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.SimpleInstantiationStrategy.instantiate(SimpleInstantiationStrategy.java:87)
        at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.ConstructorResolver.autowireConstructor(ConstructorResolver.java:244)

SimpleInstantiationStrategy subclasses org.antlr.runtime.Parser, which has no ruleMemo field in antlr-runtime 3.1, and that's the current version.

I've got the same problem.
Whatever i put antlr2.7.7.jar and antlr3.3.1-runtime.jar together or only antlr3.1.1.jar into the lib forder, when i start Tomcat it throw out this:

I can't even start Tomcat! Anyone have idea with this?

It seems that 3.0.M1 was built against some intermediate build of ANTLR 3.0. The fisheye repo for ANTLR shows that ruleMemo vanished from the BaseRecognizer class back in 2007.

I've filed SPR-5343 to have this addressed.

Why does ANTLR *always* cause grief......?

Checking the supplied pomsmight give you a hint...

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.springsource.org.antlr</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Checking the supplied pomsmight give you a hint...

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
    <artifactId>com.springsource.org.antlr</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

It's a hint, but it's misleading. The 3.0.1 source from antlr.org doesn't have the ruleMemo field in BaseRecognizer. The one Spring builds against seems to be a custom build of ANTLR, and I can't figure out where it's getting it from.

The hint is the com.springsource.org.antlr

[ivanzhaowy]

Use a custom build?...and don't supply the package within M1??

[skaffman]

That's life on the edge

It may not be a custom build, per se, but it doesn't seem to be an off-the-shelf build, either.

w w w.springsource.com/repository/app/bundle/version/detail?name=com.springsource.org.antlr&version=3.0 .1

Seems this link sovles the problem

[ivanzhaowy]

Put com.springsource.antlr-2.7.7.jar and com.springsource.org.antlr-3.0.1.jar together....or still catch problems

[manish_shriva]

i am also facing this problem is any one really using spring2.5???
