I may have misunderstood but I think these lines register the generator 
to take gp and gl as input?

generators.register [ new antlr-generator antlr.parser : GP : CPP HPP ] ;
generators.register [ new antlr-generator antlr.lexer : GL : CPP HPP ] ;

What do you mean "if this is just file" : you mean if lexer.gl is just a 
file? By no effect you mean that the <antlr-name>SimpleLexer property is 
not passed on?

Thanks,
