Description

The exception org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.SyntaxException.getEndColumn() returns always getStartColumn() + 1.
(you can check that in the source code)

I'm trying to integrate the compiler to an IDE (JDeveloper) and I cannot get the error length to underline it properly.

I'm sending you a patch that obtains the error length from all the ASTNode's.
In the patch, I haven't deleted any unused constructor (even if it isn't used any more by the compiler) to maintain API backward compatibility.

I would really appreciate if you could fix it from groovy 2.0.2 on.
