Headless Ghidra script — DecompilerBridge/ghidra/
DumpClassData.java is a Ghidra headless script that is invoked by Ghidra’s analyzeHeadless tool at analysis time. It is not compiled by Maven — Ghidra loads it directly at runtime.
ANTLR grammar — src/main/antlr4/
CPP14Lexer.g4 and CPP14Parser.g4 define the grammar used to parse Ghidra’s C++ decompiler output. The antlr4-maven-plugin generates the corresponding Java lexer and parser classes into src/main/java/com/lauriewired/malimite/decompile/antlr/ during the build.
