Antlr 2.7.2 a bit fat file.

[Antonio Gallardo <ag...@agsoftware.dnsalias.com>]

Hi:

I recently updated OJB from the CVS. The new antlr 2.7.2 file is near 5
times bigger than the old 2.7.1 file! Then I wonder how is this posible?

Looking inside the new 2.7.2 file we can see some C and C# stuff inside.
My question is:

For OJB purpose, did we need C or C# stuff at all?
Can we get this fat out of the antlr used in OJB?

Note: Since this file is needed at runtime I think people will welcome a
smaller antlr file.

What do you think?

Best Regards,

Antonio Gallardo

Hi ANtonio,

There were time when OJB fit on one 1,4 MB diskette! In those times I 
was very strict with adding large jar files.
But these times are gone. Our src distro is more than 7 MB.

I agree that the antlr package is a bit fatty. But it's the official 
version... And it's now much easier to use: only one jar file and not 
three for different purposes!

I think it's not a good idea to start deleting things from external jars 
that we don't need.
There is a lot of stuff in the j2ee.jar that is not needed for our 
purpose....

So I recommend to simply keep the jar untouched.

cu,
Thomas
