java.lang.LinkageError: org/antlr/v4/runtime/TokenStream

I'm interested in (eventually..) using yangide as part of https://github.com/vorburger/opendaylight-eclipse-setup, but am currently blocked by:

java.lang.LinkageError: org/antlr/v4/runtime/TokenStream
at org.antlr.v4.runtime.Parser.setInputStream(Parser.java:530)
at org.antlr.v4.runtime.Parser.<init>(Parser.java:182)
at org.opendaylight.yangtools.antlrv4.code.gen.YangParser.<init>(YangParser.java:188)

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/eclipse/osgi/internal/loader/EquinoxClassLoader) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "org/antlr/v4/runtime/TokenStream"
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:760)
at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.ModuleClassLoader.defineClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:273)

Based on a quick read of the analysis posted on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36798891/loader-constraint-violation-loading-antlr-jar-in-eclipse-plugin-built-with-tycho, it would appear that the root cause of this could be an ANTLR version conflict between yangide and the Eclipse Checkstyle plugin net.sf.eclipsecs.checkstyle (which I also bundle in opendaylight-eclipse-setup).

Normally OSGi was meant to avoid such conflicts but there goes the difference between the theory and the practice... More seriously, this is obviously most likely more of a misuse of OSGi than an actual OSGi issue.

If I can find the time I'll try to help resolve this, if a Gerrit with a contribution to yangide about this would be of interest to you? (Actually it is theoretically possible that this isn't even something to "fix" in yangide, but something that could & should be done differently, or ANTLR upgraded, in net.sf.eclipsecs.checkstyle - I would have to see.)

If anyone is aware of any short term workarounds for above, please document them here.
