I think this FTBFS is caused by change in some other dependency as 
antlr4-maven-plugin did not change since last successful build of 
chemicaltagger.

chemicaltagger could in principle be adapted to detect the version of 
antlr4-maven-plugin and build against that, but I would like to 
understand why antlr4-maven-plugin exports only the strictly versioned 
maven coordinates. This seems quite unusual for Java packages, but as 
said, there might be a reason for this.

Best,
