Hi,

This is may not be rare scenario, however I need some pointer on how should I approach this situations and how.

I have created cross-model reference and its working fine when DSL 1 refers to DSL 2 and both are in same project (launched as eclipse workbench).

However, how should this made to work if DSL1
1. resides in another project? (e.g something like dependent project)
2. resides in jar file that added as file to the project. (e.g something like dependency library)

I need to handle both above scenarios. Thanks.

Hi,

are you talking about the mydsl1 files or the org.yourcomparany.mydsl1/ide/ui projects?
if the first: this works ootb if the project is a java project
if the second: do you use maven, gradle, tycho ...

Need professional support for Xtext, Xpand, EMF?

These are "mydsl1" files.

index.php/fa/36884/0/

I can see it works when I create those in Java projects instead of general.

However, these are not Java project - eventually need to be domain specific project and the dependencies project/lib features need to be implemented.

So how do i do that and where do i start? Thanks!
