[xcore] using "id" as attribute name [message #1776364]

I am trying to implement an existing interface with xcore and I need to have a String attribute called "id".

Something like that:

package sample.model

class User {
    String id
}

My problem is that "id" seems to be a special keyword in the xcore dsl.

What are the possibilities?

My current solution is a post processing step (after the code generation) where I modify the name of the attribute with text search and replace.

PS: I cannot change the name of the attribute, because it is driven by an interface that my Ecore-Entity needs to implements (very easy to do with xcore, see my post on that topic)

You can use ^ to "escape" keywords.

package ^package

class Class
{
	id String ^id
}
