Runnable DSL File [message #1740312]

Hi everybody,

how can I make my dsl file runnable?
I add a main method to the ModellInferer class.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. What should be done to get the " run -> Java Application"?

I can run the Modell inferer Java class in the src-gen Folder, but the dsl file not.

Whats the issue?

Hope this is clear enough to understand.

Best regards
dim

HI,

from your question it is not clear what you want to do. please elaborate.
did you do any customizations to do that?

(e.g. what is done in xtend.ide plugin?)

How should Eclipse know how to "run" a DSL file? For Eclipse it is just a known file format that is handled with a specialized editor, and the JVM model inferrer can produce a Java class which might even get a main method, if you implement it that way. You would have to create the link on your own that allows Eclipse to know how to execute the DSL file.
For unit tests implemented in Xtend, there is similar behavior. You can directly execute them from the context menu. So you might want to explore the Xtend UI source how this is achieved.
