antlr??! we have our own parser for that!! it creates at least two different 
_trees_ (while the persitant PCS (Catalog) is a flat list of tags) ;)
  - the Abstract syntax tree (AST) 
  - the CodeModel tree (for code completion, searching, and so on..

the AST is very detailed, but it consume too much memory, for this reason I've 
decided to implement the CodeModel, that is a simplified AST and Catalog that 
is a persistent class store. My long term project is merge the CodeModel, AST 
and Catalog..

it is already possible to implement such feature, but I think that it is quite 
annoying
