Visual Basic 6 IDE recreated in C#

I appreciate the amount of work that might have gone into this, but a small annoyance:

> Antlr4BuildTasks library couldn't automatically download Java.

It would be nice if more effort was put into avoiding large dependencies, like a java runtime for a .net product. Edit: It's not just the size of the dependency, it's the complexity this adds to the deployment and development.

It would be nice if more effort was put into avoiding large dependencies for slow languages, like Python. Edit: It's not just the size of the dependency, it's the complexity this adds to the deployment and development.

(these dependencies are for building the project, not for deploying it)

I don't know any better alternative than ANTLR for grammar generation, this is unfortunately written in Java, so there is not a good way to avoid it. I mean, I could manually generate .cs files and commit them to the repo.

Antlr4BuildTasks at least automates this step (both downloading java and building antlr4).

Long story short, I don't see a better alternative for grammar generation now.

Ok, I thought I'd raise the subjective "issue". There is a port of Antlr to .net, but I don't know whether it is well maintained or how compatible it is.
