Hi Peymaneh,

Yes it is, for several reasons:
- The Java Team doesn't have the time and skills to maintain properly a 
multi-language package like ANTLR. The Java part is sufficiently complex 
on its own, we'd rather not have to care about the other languages.
- Different language ecosystems often require distinct and slightly 
incompatible versions of ANTLR.
- Handling several languages in the same package makes upgrades and 
regression testing much more difficult.
- ANTLR is a core package of the Java ecosystems, including more 
languages increases the dependency tree of the Java packages and makes 
the bootstrapping harder.

So it's preferable to have a clear separation of responsability with 
different source packages, each language team having the freedom to 
maintain its version as needed without impacting the others.
