I assume you did the change in the $Terminals section as well as in individual rules?

OK, so Parser.java et al incl. a bunch of resource files should be updated.
But what about Scanner.java? To the best of my knowledge their is no tool
for automatically updating the Scanner, right?
So you probably need to adjust manually:
- go to scanIdentifierOrKeyword()
- find case 'f'
you'll see what is needed here..

The JDTUI will of course not know about your changes, but the compiler should.

Hope this helps
