From EMF model to DSL [message #1814141]

Hello!

I am new with XTend. I have previously used Xpand for transforming UML (stereotyped class diagrams,etc) to Java code and from an EMF-based model to another text-based format. I wonder if, for using XTend, I need to define a grammar for the source EMF-based metamodel and if there is any tool that automatically generates the grammar from any EMF-based metamodel.

Thank you

hi, I assume you are speaking of Xtext (Text to model) and not Xtend (Model 2 Text or Model 2 Model)

Xtext supports external / existing metamodels. (Import statement)
There is a special version of a new Xtext project wizard that generates a very basic and rather lengthy grammar
