Hi all,

I'm new to Xtext, and I'm extending the domainmodel example. It looks really promising.

To get started learning, I've changed the grammar like this:

Property:
    name=ValidID ':' type=JvmTypeReference|ArrayListOfString;

ArrayListOfString:
    name='list';

So in the code, I want to be able to write:

myproperty: list

GOAL: What I want to achieve is for the generated code to replace "list" with "java.util.ArrayList" whenever it's used.

Do I do this in the inferrer? Or do I need to implement ITypeComputer? If the latter, it seems that DomainmodelRuntimeModule no longer offers bindITypeComputer as in the examples I've seen.

I'm using Xtext 2.9 2015117 milestone.

Thanks for helping me get started Very Happy
