Hi,

I want to use data types defined in a Ecore named ModelTypes in my DSL.

And I suppose it is the same theory as using Java types in one's own DSL. So I follow the steps in the document of Xtext about how to use Java type

here is my DSL:

import "platform:/resource/ModelTypes.ecore" as ModelTypes

Program:
       'var' modeltype=MTypes 
;

Mtypes:
       a=[ModelTypes::TypeA]|b=[ModelTypes::TypeB]
;

then I add the referencedGenModels and TypesGeneratorFragment in the workflow

However, in the editor, when i write:

var TypeA

there exists an error, which suggested that Couldn't resolve reference to ModelTypes 'TypeA'

What can i do to use data types defined in a Ecore in my DSL?
TIA!
