Using imports in import statements [message #651187]

In the VHDL language you are allowed the following construct (it has a different syntax than shown but that's not important):

import a.b.*;
import b.c.d;

So, one import can depend on another. After this, you can write d as a shorthand for a.b.c.d. As I understand it, that's not how Xtext's importer functionality works. Is there a way to get this behavior?

Hi Mark,

you could try to override
#ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider.internalGetImporte dNamespaceResolvers(EObject,
boolean) and return resolvers for the permutations that are valid in VHDL.

Regards,
Sebastian
