Splitting one DSL into 6 [message #1014413]

Hello comunity,

To begin with i want to thank you for so many posts and solutions. In the past few weeks this was great help for me.

But now I have a question. At the moment I have one DSL containing several uml similar diagrams like statemachine, classdiagram, activitydiagram etc...
I was thinking, it might be a good idea to split them in several xtext files, but still keeping them in one project oder splitting them in several projects. The should still be connected together.

For Example: In an objectdiagram i can only define objecttypes matching to a class i defined in the classdiagram.

The Question ist: What is the beste solution?

kind regards
Günther

Hi,

this highly depends if and how your dsls work together.

- for clear separation 6 projects would be nice but
- you may have to use a manually maintained metamodel in a 7th project if your metaclasses of the types use each other
- depending of the reuse of parts in different dsl you might get a problem
(only one parent grammar per dsl allowed)
