My project's Generate.mwe2 file contains a fragment for validation:
fragment = validation.ValidatorFragment auto-inject {
// composedCheck = "org.eclipse.xtext.validation.ImportUriValidator"
// composedCheck = "org.eclipse.xtext.validation.NamesAreUniqueValidator"
}
which produced an xtend file named MyDslValidator.xtend.
I defined methods in the xtend class annotated with @check but they don't seem to apply. If I enter invalid input (which is syntactically correct) eclipse does not report errors or warnings.

The documentation also refers to a second fragment named org.eclipse.xtext.generator.validation.JavaValidatorFragment. This resulted in a Java file under the validation package. Except for the implementation language, what is the difference between the two fragments?

How does your check rule look like

My bad. Ignore this question.

I had a misconception about validation. In the xtext implementation I provided a Boolean method that returned true if the invariant hold. When I added the fragment for the Java validator, the generated file contained an example that showed I should implement void methods and use the warning and error methods to indicate problems.
