Hi,

Below is a simple grammar:
Model:
(greetings+=Element)*;

Element:
Decl | Greeting
;
Decl:
'name' ':' name=ID
;
Greeting:
'Hello' nameRef=[Decl] '!';

Then I defined lib.mydsl inside a maven java project with the content:
name : Paul

and mvn packaged the java project so I got the jar:
$ jar tf ./target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
com/
com/mycompany/
com/mycompany/app/
com/mycompany/app/App.class
lib.mydsl
...

Note lib.mydsl is packaged inside the jar.

Then I added the jar to another java project's classpath (using eclipse Java Build Path -> Add JARS)
Then the cross reference is not resolved in my project using the previous jar:
Hello Paul ! //could not resolve reference to Decl Paul

I read something saying this should work out of the box, is there anything to customize, for example, in the global scope provider ?

Thanks !

I got it working after I added an import section:
Import:
'import' importURI=STRING
;
Replace DefaultGlobalScopeProvider with ImportUriGlobalScopeProvider.

And change the dsl code to:
import "classpath:/lib.mydsl"
Hello Paul !

But then the functions in DefaultGlobalScopeProvider is missing. I guess maybe it's better to add ImportUriGlobalScopeProvider to the current scope provider (by creating a custom global scope provider)

Could be https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=519528
But you would,have to debug. That

And it was reported for xbase langs only

Oh, I forgot I used xtext 2.10, I tried my example on xtext 2.11, it does work without adding importURI support.
Thanks ~

Hi,

I tried the same steps for xbase, and found a problem. Below is the grammar:

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with
                                      org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.Xbase
generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
	greetings+=Element*;

Element: 
    Decl | Greeting
;
Decl: 
    name=ID ':' type=JvmTypeReference
;

Greeting:
	'Hello' name=[Decl] '!';



I defined a "Decl" in lib.mydsl and packaged it into a jar:
Paul: String

and the reference below does not work:
Hello Paul !

But this reference resolves to the "Decl" in lib.mydsl:
Hello name !

Please also see the attached screenshot.

Oh, never mind, it works, I have forgotten to regenerate the code.
Sorry

Maybe some uncleaned state produced from the previous version of the grammar I created.
