If I compile a lexer with defaultErrorHandler=true; , antlr 2.7.5 generates following Java code for error handling:

			

			catch (RecoginitionException ex) {
			

			if (inputState.guessing==0) {
			

			reportError(ex);
			

			recover(ex,_tokenSet_0);
			

			} else {
			

			throw ex;
			

			}
			

			}
			

		

which doesn't compile because the recover() method doesn't exist.

A simple demo for this problem is add the defaultErrorHandler=true; line to the lexer options in examples/java/java/Java.g
