Description

The exclusion of the xmlpull dependency and use of the JDKs internal StAX parser means that the output of the compiler when using -Dantlr.ast=xml will no longer be pretty-printed but all on one line. It can be pretty printed within a suitably aware XML editor or indeed Groovy's XmlUtil methods.
