This is a patch to build AnltrWorks2 on linux, per AntlrWorks2 issue 31

Make sure you first download & install NetBeans IDE, and install Java 1.8.0_45. In Ubuntu, you can use these instructions to install Oracle's JDK (instead of OpenJDK which would be installed by default).

git clone https://github.com/tunnelvisionlabs/antlrworks2.git
git checkout bfee49a9b029625ef3bffeaa1b026d2bbc95b61d
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/transistor1/694ac03beeb3899933fa/raw/9da6b556a5edc0dedb3d78e9d5107c9690958623/patch.diff
git apply < patch.diff

Now open and build AntlrWorks2 in NetBeans.
