I have an XCore model, and I would like to edit an instance of this model, not in the sample reflective editor, but in a XText based editor (similar to the one I use to author the model itself).
For instance, my model is:
class Library {
contains Book[] books opposite library
}
class Book {
String title
int pages
container Library library opposite books
}
then, I would like to edit an instance of it like this (the syntax is just an example of what it could be), as text, with auto-completion based on the model.
Library {
Book[] {
Book {
title: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"
pages: 524
},
Book {
title: "The Black Cat"
pages: 63
}
}
}
Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks,
David

David,
This is really and Xtext question. A *.xcore resource logically
contains an EPackage and GenModel in the Resource.getContents so any
tool (such as Xtext) that needs *.ecore/*.genmodel should in principle
be able to work with a *.xcore resource.
