1. For the tool, create class *X*Target as a subclass of class `Target` in package `org.antlr.v4.codegen.target`. This class describes language specific details about escape characters and strings and so on. There is very little to do here typically.
12
12
1. Create *X*.stg in directory tool/resources/org/antlr/v4/tool/templates/codegen/*X*/*X*.stg. This is a [StringTemplate](http://www.stringtemplate.org/) group file (`.stg`) that tells ANTLR how to express all of the parsing elements needed to generate code. You will see templates called `ParserFile`, `Parser`, `Lexer`, `CodeBlockForAlt`, `AltBlock`, etc... Each of these must be described how to build the indicated chunk of code. Your best bet is to find the closest existing target, copy that template file, and tweak to suit.
13
13
1. Create a runtime library to support the parsers generated by ANTLR. Under directory runtime/*X*, you are in complete control of the directory structure as dictated by common usage of that target language. For example, Java has: `runtime/Java/lib` and `runtime/Java/src` directories. Under `src`, you will find a directory structure for package `org.antlr.v4.runtime` and below.

1. Create a template file for runtime tests. All you have to do is provide a few simple templates that indicate how to print values and declare variables. Our runtime test mechanism in dir `runtime-testsuite` will automatically generate code in a new target and check the results. All it needs to know is how to generate a test rig (i.e., a `main` program), how to define various class fields, compare members and so on. You must create a *X* directory underneath `runtime-testsuite/resources/org/antlr/v4/test/runtime`. Again, your best bet is to copy the templates from the closest language to your target and tweak it to suit.

Add a remote `upstream` to the original `antlr/antlr4` repository (URL `https://github.com/antlr/antlr4.git`).

### XPath

XPath works great when you need to find specific nodes, possibly in certain contexts. The context is limited to the parents on the way to the root of the tree. For example, if you want to find all ID nodes, use path `//ID`. If you want all variable declarations, you might use path `//vardecl`. If you only want fields declarations, then you can use some context information via path `/classdef/vardecl`, which would only find vardecls that our children of class definitions. You can merge the results of multiple XPath `findAll()`s simulating a set union for XPath. The only caveat is that the order from the original tree is not preserved when you union multiple `findAll()` sets.

That way each listener function does not have to compute its appropriate scope.

ANTLR is really two things: a tool that translates your grammar to a parser/lexer in Java (or other target language) and the runtime needed by the generated parsers/lexers. Even if you are using the ANTLR Intellij plug-in or ANTLRWorks to run the ANTLR tool, the generated code will still need the runtime library.

The first thing you should do is probably download and install a development tool plug-in. Even if you only use such tools for editing, they are great. Then, follow the instructions below to get the runtime environment available to your system to run generated parsers/lexers. In what follows, I talk about antlr-4.7.1-complete.jar, which has the tool and the runtime and any other support libraries (e.g., ANTLR v4 is written in v3).
