How to access the EObject tree of another model file? [message #559051]

Hello,

i would like to know how i can get the EObject tree of a file in the project.

In our DSL we want to generate code from the model selectively. A user selects a file, and we have to compute which other files reference this file and use those during generation as well.

Is there a way to access the EObject tree (AST) of a file either through the Resource of the current editor (which is another file referenced by the one i want) or through a fileurl?

Thank you
Robert Krul

Hello Robert,

to read the model programmatically have a look at the section Processing Xtext Models in the docs (starting from a fileurl) or starting with an editor do something like described here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=54494 2
