I have an enum in xcore and I don't want to declare the same enum in xtext. How can I use the xcore enum in my xtext grammar? Is this possible?
Or how about referring the xtext enum in my xcore model?

Chris,

It seems better to ask this on the Xtext forum. I'm not sure how one
refers to an enum in the grammar. In general I don't expect this
question to be specific to Xcore because an Ecore model is inferred and
of course Java code is generated and inferred even before it's
generated. Xtext will refer to the enum either via the Ecore model or
via the generated Java enum, either of which should work "as normal".
