Custom Java extensions in Xtext [message #1765469]

Hello! I'm considering using Xtext to implement a full-fledged Eclipse editor that support my custom Java extension: the basic Java editor (coloring, auto-completion etc.) + custom translation of the code into legal Java code.

I already know how I want to convert user code to Java, so I want Xtext to supply the other Java editor capabilities.

Does Xtext support that?
Is Xtext what I am looking for, or should I create a regular Eclipse plugin instead?
Would it be easy to implement? What tutorial/s should I follow? (standard xbase maybe?)

I would also appreciate any relevant tips!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

i assume it will be a really big pile of work to do so doing this e.g. with MPS might be easier (baselang already there, better extension support, ...)
you may have a look at for a starting point https://github.com/lorenzobettini/jbase
