Uh...this whole thread is about the book, bro. Just explaining the disparity between the documentation in the book. sorry if I offended you by repeating what the author of this review indicated: that the book was available Amazon. damn, there I go again!
howdy. I never deleted anything from the documentation. v3 was completely new, I simply didn't provide as much documentation as some would like. I had a simple choice to make: (1) write some free documentation for which I would not be very motivated (after doing the 5 years of 7 day/week coding effort for v3) or (2) use cash to motivate myself to write decent documentation (side benefit is that I could use the book towards getting tenure at the University of San Francisco whereas documentation does not count as a publication). Obviously I chose (2), but I understand your frustration completely. It is only like 20 bucks at Amazon though;)
ANTLR can generate 5 targets at the moment. perhaps you are referring to the fact that actions embedded within the grammar are in a particular language?
ANTLR v3 has an interpreter also for ANTLR grammars; does everything except execute actions (of course) and doesn't yet deal with syntactic predicates.
