The IDE is not Antlr - it is IntelliJ with a plug-in that interfaces
to the separate[*] Antlr tool.  I've never used IntelliJ so I can't
help you with that.

I have used Antlr via command line, through makefiles, and via
external tool options in a few other IDEs.  I haven't used the current
version (4.x), but I have projects based on earlier versions.


[*] Antlr is installed along with the plug-in, but it is separate.

Yes.  There's some discussion of old versions of Antlr.  PCCTS itself
was a earlier tool from the same author (Terence Parr).  Antlr began
as a more powerful version of PCCTS.

Antlr now is supported mainly on Stackoverflow.com and via a Google
group.  see http://www.antlr.org/support.html


But that won't help with the IntelliJ issue.  If it's hard to use,
that's the fault of the plug-in (or the platform).
