Hey everyone,

the Xtext and Xtend Gradle Plugins are getting a major overhaul. They now support

- Incremental compilation (only compiling DSL files that are affected by a change)
- Multiple sourceSets with different output folders per sourceSet
- Configuring validation levels (ignore certain warnings, turn others into errors etc.)
- Xtend can finally be used together with other languages seamlessly
- Android support for all Xtext languages

We have just released version 1.0.0-RC1 to the Gradle Plugin Portal. Please give the plugin a try and tell us about your experience.

The new documentation is hosted on Github Pages. Please point out any errors or unclear passages there, too =)

Cheers,
Stefan
