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.

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). George
