I'm working on some code generators with Xtext and Xtend. One of the DSLs I created creates Java code for Swing JMenu entries which map to specific classes in a specific package.

A better solution would be some sort of graphical editor, like ECore diagrammer, where I could create a top-level menu, then add a bunch of menu entries. Each menu entry would require a user-supplied name (to put in the menu) and reference to a specific class. The classes to be offered in the drop down would match a specific naming convention (*.CADBlock.class) and be in a specific package.

Using Xtext and Xtend to parse a menu definition file is OK, but i still have to type in the class names by hand which is tedious and error prone.

Any suggestions as to which tool would be good for this?

Thanks,

GW

Hi,

I'm afraid you asked on the wrong forum. This forum is focused on EcoreTools which is a diagram editor for Ecore models, not on EMF itself. You should ask your question on the EMF newsgroup, no doubt you'll get a quick response there : http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/108/
