The ANTLRWorks tool is written in Java and is only able to debug Java recognizers directlynatively. Nevertheless, you can debug your C# recognizers with ANTLRWorks by using the Remote Debugging feature of ANTLRWorks. In ANTLRWorks, Remote Debugging works by connectiong to a running instance of a debug-instrumented recognizer (generated with the -debug switch to ANTLR) over the network.

...

1. Generate a debuggable version of your recognizer by specifying the -debug option to ANTLR
2. Create a driver program that creates your recognizer and runs some test input through it (see the examples-v3 archive for sample driver programs)
3. Compile your driver and recognizer to produce your executable file(s)
4. Execute your driver program (it will launch your recognizer and appear to hang - it's just waiting for ANTLRWorks to connect)
5. Start ANTLRWorks (or switch to it if it is already running) and click the menu Debugger|Debug Remote...
6. Click Connect to accept the default host and port values (localhost and 49153 respectively)
7. ANTLRWorks should now start debugging your recognizer!
