I need this feature in my grammar:

ClassDefinition : ('opt1'|'opt2'|'opt3')*? name=ID ";" ;

where "*?" means "any of them in any order but each one only once".

How can I do something like that?

Background: I have some places where a rule has 5-10 options and I want to enable users to give them in any order.

Regards,

A. Digulla

Aaron,

I see you are familiar with unordered groups, this solves the "any of them in any order" part.

Solve the "each of them only once" by a validation rule.

Thanks, "unordered group" was the keyword I was looking for.

For all the people who have the same problem, you can find an explanation and example here: http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html#syntax

Search for "Unordered Groups" in the page.

Regards,

A. Digulla
