Hello,
I have issues importing and using a dsl language that is not present in the same workspace.
Basically, i have language B and i want to use elements from language A, i have imported language A in my xtext file using

import "http://www.myDslA.com/dsl/myDslA/MyDslA" as myDslA

i use a target platform which brings myDslA module, and i have added the plugin in the required plugin section of the MANIFEST.MF.
I know i have to register the ecore and genmodel files in myDslB.mwe2 file, for a language that is present in the workspace i have added this:

referencedResource = "platform:/resource/com.myDslC/model/generated/myDslC.ecore"
 referencedResource = "platform:/resource/com.myDslC/model/generated/myDslC.genmodel"

but i don't know how i could do this for a language that is not located in the same workspace, and I don't want to hardcode a path towards language A either. Any ideas? is this possible?

it will work if

- com.myDslC is in the target platform
- com.myDslC packages model/generated/* (see build.properties)
- com.myDslC is in required bundles of myDslA

Yes, it works now. Thank you. I thought that, since myDslA is not in the same workspace, i should use the nsURI to register the language in the mwe2, my bad.
