[Acceleo] how to create a compiler with xtext and Acceleo ? [message #897270]

hello,

I am trying to create a compiler for a research project, and I chose Acceleo and xtext as tools to develop it.

Actually I have no difficulties to use xtext to create a syntaxic editor from a specific grammar, or to use Acceleo on a ecore metalmodel.

But my problem is : I don't understand how I can use Acceleo on a model defined by the source file written by the final user of my project : I don't want acceleo to generate text from the metamodel ( created by xtext ) but from the model.

Somebody could help me please ?
I have been looking for information about it and I didn"t find anything on that issue

PS : sorry for my awful english I guess. I'm a french student and technical vocabulary isn't good enough for now.

Hi,

Since both Xtext and Acceleo are using EMF, it is quite simple, have a look at this example here: https://github.com/eclipse-soc
In this example, you can find an Android DSL based on Xtext with an Acceleo generator for the model created by the Xtext generated tooling for this grammar.
