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.
