issue in the generated parser with ANTLR 4.7.1

I created a grammar called goal.g4

Then, from terminal (on a mac) I launched "java -cp "antlr-4.7.1-complete.jar" org.antlr.v4.Tool goal.g4 -listener -visitor" that terminates correctly.

Then I use the following java code:

input = new ANTLRInputStream(fis); /* where fis is a FileInputStream */
goalLexer lexer = new goalLexer(input);
CommonTokenStream tokens = new CommonTokenStream(lexer);
goalParser parser = new goalParser(tokens);
parser.start();

my point is: how to retrieve the ParseTree object from the parser? As suggested I replaced the init() method with the start() methods. However eclipse tells me that parser.start() does not exist...

How do I solve this? Thanks Luca

Look in your grammar. You have to identify the start rule you want to go with. Usually the start rule is near the top of the file and/or is one of the few (or only one) that is not called by any other rule.

Whatever rule you choose it will return a parse tree context, which forms the root of your parse tree, e.g.

ParseTree tree = parser.start();
