I am trying to use my Xtext from Ecore in a standalone manner in a Maven project. I follow the steps in:
https://github.com/echebbi/standalone-xtext-example

Which seems very comprehensive after a lot of research. However, when I get to "You must also add the JAR located under org.xtext.example.mydsl/target as a project's dependency.", there is no JAR file

I have a file ending in .target and the pom.xlm file in this folder, nothing more.

Thanks for the help.

Please check what the new project wizard generates when you select language server fat jar.
Then exchange the main class with your main class and you should be fine

Thank you! I created a new project with FAT JAR. Then follow run>maven install on the parent folder, add the JAR under org.xtext.example.mydsl/target and now I can recognise the DSL classes on Maven.

However, when I run the main.java in Maven there are lots of errors related to the line:

Injector injector = new MyDslStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();

Do you have any idea what this error mean/ how to solve it?

Thank you again!

(I attach the main function from Maven as run.java)

What do you mean by run
How do you execute the jar
And the run thing

Maybe using the default package is a bad idea with java 17 and modules

I have the .JAR file located under zzz.example.mydsl1/target as a project's dependency in Maven.

By run I mean I run the main class in my Maven project as a Java application.

I changed the name of the package, but same error.

Thank you for following

I assume you need to configure something in the project to make correct use of the java module system
Unfortunately I don't have the time to reproduce / research

Well, I still stuck here after trying multiple configurations of the version in the .pom file and Java,
but thank you for the help!

questions:
- why do you use the normal jar and not the uber jar
- file should be "./example.mydsl1"
- other xtext deps in example project not needed

=> unclear what you try to achieve
maybe you can do 2 steps back and describe what you want to achieve

with move of run.java to a package
it works for me
