So after discussing with the Antlr folks, the intention was that the
runtime remain JDK 1.4 compatible. However a few of the runtime classes
unintentionally ended up using generics. At this point its probably not
going to be switched back because these represent public API classes and
there have been a few releases with that API. So its really a question
of whether we want to pursue something like a retroweaver build for
Antlr to generate a 1.4 compatible release.
To your specific question, yes they can in fact co-exist (diff
packages). The issue is my intention, which is to eventually use this
new translation code as the basis for all SQL generation activities so
that this stuff would get used in a variety of places within the code
base.
