After doing some research online I found that this would be the way to catch the exceptions and output my own error messages. For some reason I still cannot seem to catch the errors. Below is the code for a class that overrides antlrs default error handling.
All I want to do is catch the exception from antlr and output to the screen that the syntax is incorrect in a java gui.
public class ExceptionErrorStrategy extends DefaultErrorStrategy {
@Override
public void recover(Parser recognizer, RecognitionException e) {
throw e;
}
@Override
public void reportInputMismatch(Parser recognizer, InputMismatchException e) throws RecognitionException {
String msg = "Input is mismatched " + getTokenErrorDisplay(e.getOffendingToken());
msg += " expecting: "+e.getExpectedTokens().toString(recognizer.getTokenNames());
RecognitionException ex = new RecognitionException(msg, recognizer, recognizer.getInputStream(), recognizer.getContext());
ex.initCause(e);
throw ex;
}
@Override
public void reportMissingToken(Parser recognizer) {
beginErrorCondition(recognizer);
Token t = recognizer.getCurrentToken();
IntervalSet expecting = getExpectedTokens(recognizer);
String msg = "Missing "+expecting.toString(recognizer.getTokenNames()) + " at " + getTokenErrorDisplay(t);
throw new RecognitionException(msg, recognizer, recognizer.getInputStream(), recognizer.getContext());
}
}
