Currently, to be able to use the latest version of the tool, one has to download this repo and rebuild the entire antlr project with the D specific files added. On posix systems this isn't too hard with the Makefile, but it does not work on windows, requiring manually copying the files and building with maven.

The built jar is platform-independent, so only one build is necessary to be distribute it. Publishing to github releases would make it much easier to write build instructions for projects which don't otherwise require maven build tools.

It would also be possible to set up continuous deployment with one of the third party CI providers, so it could build and publish a jar from a build server instead of requiring someone to manually add it to releases.

This cumbersome procedure is a temporary workaround as long as the d language extension is not an official part of antlr4. Therefore I need to solve the last point (no 4, runtime tests) of Creating an ANTLR Language Target https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/blob/master/doc/creating-a-language-target.md.

Unfortunately, this not yet solved.
