Editor generator for ANTLR grammars?

I'm using ANTLR for creating a new general purpose programming language and I'm quite happy with it.

Due to开发者_开发技巧 the fact that I would like to provide good tools for ease the development of programs written with my language I'm starting to thinking on realising a editor for that language through a proper Eclipse plugin.

Is there any tools/project that allow you to have a fully-fledged editor (with syntax highlighting, code completion, etc.). I know that Xtext allow you to do this in automatic, what about ANTLR?

I've seen this mail to the ANTLR mailing list but it has no answers

I'd give Xtext a try. It does not provide all the features of Antlr on the grammar level, but the framework offers great infrastructure components such as a tight integration with the Eclipse modeling components and the Eclipse UI.

Monticore almost seems to do what you (and I) hope for. In their Message Sequence Chart example there is an Eclipse Editor, it is an Eclipse Sample project. I am currently looking into it. Monticore is based upon antlr and the grammar looks quite similar to ANTLRs.
