User friendly grammar editing [message #1710688]

Hello everyone!

I've created a DSL using Xtext and an editor based on the grammar. As the grammar should be extendible by user, I want to have a solution for editing the grammar without directly working with the *.xtext file in the editor (which could be frustrating and is very error-prone for non-computer-scientist).

The optimum would be a GUI, like a form, where the user can add/edit/delete new elements. Unfortunately I've found not a single way to do that.

Maybe someone can give me an advice, where to start and if it is manageable somehow.

I would appreciate any help!
