100 Java compilation errors using Antlr4

Question

I'm new to using ANTLR4 and I'm having some trouble with the compilation process(using Ubuntu). I'm using the following grammar "Expr":

grammar Expr;       
prog:   (expr NEWLINE)* ;
expr:   expr ('*'|'/') expr
    |   expr ('+'|'-') expr
    |   INT
    |   '(' expr ')'
    ;
NEWLINE : [\r\n]+ ;
INT     : [0-9]+ ;

When I run the command "antlr4 Expr.g4" .. no Errors.. However when I try compiling using"javac Expr*.java", I get a list of 100 errors:

It seems that this error consistently re appears with any files I run Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

your issue is similar to this issue:

Compiling sample ANTRL4 output

you have to check your Classpath, here is a way to install ANTLR Run-time on your device, but note that you have to change http to https when you download antlr.

How would I check the class path? Also I already have Antlr installed on my OS – ConorIsAMelon Oct 16 '20 at 15:04
you have to check the way you install antlr with, maybe you use HTTP which when I installed antlr in my ubuntu it was giving me an error after download it using https it works just fine – Hisham Oct 16 '20 at 15:19
and to check classpath you have to see what did you put in .bashrc – Hisham Oct 16 '20 at 15:28
To check the class path use: echo $CLASSPATH If you don't see anything, you need to insert this line into your .bashrc file in /home directory: export CLASSPATH=".:Path_to_your_ANTLR_jar_file:$CLASSPATH" – BOT_bkcd Feb 27 '22 at 08:09
