Hi everyone,

how can I implement semantic highlighting using Xtext 2.11?

When I try to bind the Calculator and Configuration as for instance shown in [1], I get errors because those methods do not exist AbstractExampleDslUiModule and cannot be overridden.

I can only find information regarding Xtext 2.9 where the ISemanticHighlightCalculator has been moved to the xtext.ide.editor package. Though, ISemanticHighlightConfiguration has not been moved. This makes me wondering if this is still the right approach to highlighting?

It looks like you have some basic misunderstanding of how bindings work

You can add a bind method for every bind you wish for
There is no need to have a method in the superclass

So simply omit the override and you should be fine
