Intermediate Code Generation

Question

I started using ANTLR 4 for my compiler course and I already created my grammar. ANTLR gives me the Lexer and the Parser but how can I generate an intermediate code? Someone told me to use Jasmin but I did't know how to use it.

NB: ANTLR gives me the java code.

So you mean how to generate the Java bytecode out of your custom language that you parsed with your ANTLR parser / lexer? If so, then you should write so. ;-) — Vampire, Aug 11 '16 at 14:09
@Tadesse: Your compiler class doesn't have theory and lecture on how to define and build intermediate code? You must have an awful compiler class. Get any textbook on compilers (Aho/Ullman/Sethi "Compiler") and *read* the chapters on this topic. You still have work to do, but with the principles understood this is a matter of programming. — Ira Baxter, Aug 13 '16 at 15:10
@Vampire: or, if OP didn't mean "Java bytecode", to leave that out because it isn't relevant. I think Vince's answer defines it in a way that is more in line with a classic compiler course. — Ira Baxter, Aug 13 '16 at 15:12

As you was told, Jasmin is one way to generate the bytecode.
If you don't know how to use it, I suggest you learn how to use it.
For example read the User Guide.
If you have some more specific problem / question you can come back here to SO and ask. But please read and obey https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask
