Hi Newsgroup,
in my dsl I will have to work with db tables. To identify a column inside
a table I use the following statements:
Table:
(schema=ID '.')? tableName=ID;
Element:
table=Table '.' columnName=ID ;
Optionally you may have to add a schema name, therefore schema is optional
in the Table statement.
When I execute the MWE worklfow I get the following warning:
warning(202):
../org.xtext.example.mydsl/src-gen/org/xtext/example/parser/ antlr/internal/InternalMyDsl.g:373:2:
the decision cannot distinguish between alternative(s) 2,1 for at least
one input sequence
which is not 100% clear to me. I see the concern from the compiler but I
do not know how to fix it. Is there any pattern fur such a problem ? A
quick fix would be to use another separator (e.g. # ) in the Table
definition. But I'd prefer to use the same separator.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
You should be able to enable ANTLR backtracking. The recent thread with
subject "[Xtext] ANTLR options"
( http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=1296&gr oup=eclipse.modeling.tmf)
discussed how this is done.
Hope that helps,
