Is there a way to mark properties as deprecated in xText.

Rule:
'rule' name=ID '{',
('validProperty') |
( 'deprecatedProperty')
'}'

I can mark the rule itself with @Deprecated , but not the property 'deprecatedProperty'

I other words, how can I best deprecate a keywords, so that I can validate it in the client, as soon as the user uses the keyword?

How can I deprecate this property and how can I validate it in the client?

There is no. You have to implement the validator yourself

Okay is there an example for accessing the keywords as the user types them.
I know that the Parser does it, but how can we do it inside a validator?

The parser but inside a validator, I only have access to the EObjects not the tokens that the user types?

Maybe you can recycle some modemodelutils usages e.g from here
