Why not using ANTLR

Because you don't want to download internet to validate an email.

Getting Started

import emailvalidator4j.EmailValidator

public class ValidateEmail {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        EmailValidator validator = new EmailValidator();
        if (validator->isValid(args[0]) {
            System.out.println("Valid email");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Invalid email");
        }
    }
}

Validation Strategies
