Text and Model Editor [message #622193]

Hi,

i designed an ecore Model to create an graphical editor for my own XML-based markup language.

The tree-based EMF Editor and the GMF Editor both working well.
I know i can create my XML code with XPand now.

My question is:

Is there a way to create a EMF or GMF model from my XML File ?

I know that Xtext is a tool for creating Text based Editor but i can't find a way to sync this with my EMF Tree Editor or GMF Editor except this:
http://koehnlein.blogspot.com/2009/06/synchronized-editors-w ith-tmfxtext-and.html

The best would be an Editor which updates the EMF Tree Editor and the EMD Editor than refresh my GMF-Editor.

Sui,

I think you'd need to combine these things into a single editor
otherwise each editor just keeps it's own local copy of what it's
working on and doesn't sync until you save an editor and cause a
resource delta and that will cause a drastic change, i.e., throwing away
the current state and loading the new state.

Thanks for reply,

i don't understand what you mean with "these things".
Do you mean the EMF and GMF Editor?
Or would you say the XText Editor could fulfill my requirements or rather is the best way for this, if i combine it to a Single Editor with EMF and GMF Editor?

Sui,

Yes, I mean combine the editors. I'm not sure how challenging the task
will be. Likely starting with the Xtext editor as the basis would be best.
