That needs Java.
But only when generating the parser. It can output a pure C parser.
If it's not ok to require Java to build (and I could imagine that), we could check in ANTLR's output. Then only people hacking on cmd would need java installed.
Well, at least Alexandre as well, and I could imagine distributions wanting to generate those files themselves as well.
IIRC ANTLR also includes its own IDE/editor, although it's probably not required to use that. It seems to me like it would be less trouble to either use bison/yacc or write something by hand, like most of the other parsers in Wine. The more interesting problem is of course finding someone to work on it in the first place.
