Antlr is build with Java so in order to build the grammar, it needs to either use system java or download one. I don't know any better alternative to Antlr. Of course I could manually generate .cs files and commit them to the repo, but Antlr4BuildTasks automates everything which is very convenient.

I onow antlr and the the fact it was started in the 90s and still going. Precious piece of software indeed. But to have a .net app download Java still seems subpar. I guess grammars can be approached by other way, like with Perl6 (Raku).

That’s all im saying, and with all due respect for the work done.
