Outputting to a second window / plugin from DSL plugin [message #1715352] Sun, 22 November 2015 16:44

Hi all,

I'm implementing two small languages and their type-checking algorithms. I'm then after outputting information from the type-checking algorithm into a secondary window (or plugin? either) in the Eclipse IDE. I've defined my DSL in Xtext and I've been looking at using a custom validator to perform type-checking.

I'm stuck on how to get information from my algorithm to this secondary window.
Should I create a plugin for this window, in which case, how can I interact with it from my Xtext DSL plugin?
Is there a way to both create and interact with this second window within the Xtext DSL plugin itself?

I saw they did something along the lines of what I'm after in the 'TortoiseShell' example, however I can't see how they managed it.
(https://github.com/xtext/seven-languages-xtext/tree/master/languages)

It's worth saying that I'm new to both Xtext and Eclipse IDE plug-ins, so it may be pretty obvious what I need to do, but I just can't see it.

Thanks for any help. Smile
