I don't intend to use it.

In fact ANTLR v4 only generates Java at the moment (well, when I checked 
a few weeks ago). They say support for additional languages is coming 
but Ada isn't in the list so using ANTLR v4 to generate Ada would 
require adding that support as well.

The parser I'm playing with will use the Java generated code with Scala.
