My question above was not as precise as it should have been, sorry.
What I meant was: after having done

    $ mkdir /tmp/antlr-test
    $ cd $_
    $ wget --page-requisites --recursive --level=inf --convert-links \
    --no-parent \
    https://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs4120/2013fa/handouts/antlr.html
    $ cd www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs4120/2013fa/handouts/xi
    $ antlr4 XiLexer.g4 XiParser.g4 -no-listener

why was it not sufficient for me to do

    $ javac Xi*.java

i.e. why was it instead necessary for me to do

     $ CLASSPATH='.'
     $ CLASSPATH+=':/usr/share/java/stringtemplate4.jar'
     $ CLASSPATH+=':/usr/share/java/antlr4.jar'
     $ CLASSPATH+=':/usr/share/java/antlr4-runtime.jar'
     $ CLASSPATH+=':/usr/share/java/antlr3-runtime.jar/'
     $ CLASSPATH+=':/usr/share/java/treelayout.jar"
     $ javac -cp "$CLASSPATH" Xi*.java

and does that necessity mean that there is a bug in the antlr4 package
on Stretch?

Thanks again,

Sam
