building ANTLR 3.5.2

[kavi33]

I want to manually build ANTLR using the jar files. I followed these steps: Having the latest source helps: I used the mirror at github, downloaded the zip file from the web interface. Cloning gave me errors. cd in to the unzipped directory, then:

mvn -N install mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Its failing with [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Reactor Summary: [INFO] [INFO] ANTLR 3 Master build control POM ...................

Any idea on this issue would be helpful

I am sorry, but I cannot confirm your bug report: Running

git clone https://github.com/antlr/antlr3
cd antlr3
mvn -N install
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true

results in

for me.

You might try to run maven with the -X option to get a more verbose output - http://maven.apache.org/archives/maven-1.x/faq.html#debug-maven

Please also note that ANTLR3 is not supported any more. Try switching to ANTLR4.
