Hi,

the rule will be problematic if you use the default terminals, as the STRING rule includes single quotes.

Why don't you use

Rule: name=STRING?

You could use validation that the content of the string matches an ID. Note that for referencing you then use

Reference: 'ref' to=[Rule|STRING]

Hi alex

thanks for reply .
actally when I use STRING , and try to access feature name from within xtend/xpand code
for example
<<f.name>>
the result which i get is 'java' with single quotes. I wanted single quotes to be mandatory but not part of the feature name.

Hi, the quotes should be removed by the value converter. This happens
automatically with the default setup.
