Maven pom.xml to support automatic code generation for ANTLR 4 grammar(s) during an Eclipse build. This configuration does not support (and is not intended for) building using Maven alone.

@Vadi: Don't use package declaration in grammar file and configure the antlr4-maven-plugin like this:

<configuration>
   <arguments>
      <argument>-package</argument>
      <argument>my.package.path</argument>
   </arguments>
</configuration>

You shouldn't use build-helper-maven-plugin here, cause antlr4-maven-plugin already adds the sources to the compile roots.. Furthermore the life cycle mapping for m2e are not needed cause antlr4-maven-plugin (using newer version 4.5.X ?) already contains appropriate mapping in the plugin itself. So it shouldn't be necessary...
