Hi everyone,

I am new to XText, so please forgive me if this is a stupid question. But I would like to have these information before I invest days or weeks of learning.

What I would like to do is use XText to create a domain specific language which will be translated to a scripting language of a specific program. Is it possible to generate something else than Java code by defining the output grammer and suchlike?

Greetings

Yes, the generator can generate any kind of code.

Hi,

do you have a link for a tutorial or something else? I wrote my first small grammer and would like to translate it to a xml file. But I can't find anything about how to do this. The only thing I found was XSD and XPAND in the documentation of Eclipse Indigo. How Can I do this with Xtend or do I have to use something else? Currently I use Eclipse Juno.

Thx

http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#TutorialCodeGeneration
should give you a nice starting point, I reckon?
It is java based but you can see the static and dynamic parts of the code to be generated, it should be pretty straightforward for other languages.
And, just to prove that other languages are indeed possible:
