I am generating xtend classes from my DSL but they do not get compiled to java.
How can I fix this? Is there a way to tell the builder to run twice ?

No, the builder currently ignores files that it generated. It would have to do a respin.
Why do you generate Xtend and not Java files in your case?

Because Xtend does more type inferrence on it self and do not need to generate so much type infos.

Hi,

can somebody help my in getting theXtextBuilder to respin ? I guess I need a plugin that uses an extenstion point to trigger the XtextBuilder again if appropriate.

It seems I found a solution. If I use a different output configurration for the generated xtend files they get compiled to java instantly.

I strongly recommend you generate Java instead. The builder will be faster (since it doesn't have to run twice). Also think about features like navigation: When you CTRL-Click on a method generated from your DSL, your current approach would bring you to the Xtend code instead of to the original declaration in your DSL file. This greatly reduces usability.
