Description
We use a fairly old version of antlr to compile the JSL code for Prism. There is a known bug in this version of antlr, for which we have a workaround that we would like to get rid of at some point. For FX 9 we should evaluate whether to upgrade to a newer version of antlr.

Changing issue type to Bug since current version causes problems with our build. Also bumping it to P3.

It appears that the fix for the NPE is in antlr 3.5.2 so if we decide to upgrade in 9 (or in 8u40 if there is a good reason to do so) then we will need at least 3.5.2.

We currently use antlr version 3.1.3. The latest version of antlr3 is 3.5.2.
