Hi,
I am using Xtext with eclipse 3.5.

I get following info message in console when I run Workflow file (MWE2) in DSL project. How can I configure meta models using JavaBeans as default. Secondly in which file I have to write code to "process xtext model"?

3 [main] INFO org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator - No meta models configured, using JavaBeans as default.

80 [main] INFO org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator - No meta models configured, using JavaBeans as default.

80 [main] INFO org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator - No meta models configured, using JavaBeans as default.

Thanks

Hi,

the JavaBeansMetamodel message is just a warning. if you want to explicitely configure it

	component = org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator {
		metaModel = org.eclipse.xtend.type.impl.java.JavaBeansMetaModel {}
		expand = "templates::Template::main FOREACH greetings"
		outlet = {
			path = targetDir
		}
		fileEncoding = fileEncoding
	}

your second question

Thanks for your reply. I am very much new to DSL perticularly with Xtext and related. I was reading xtext tutorial on:
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/latest/xtext.html #getting-started.

And, under the heading "Processing Xtext Models" I found code e.g.

new DomainmodelStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistrat ion();

ResourceSet rs = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI("./mymodel.dmodel"), true);
EObject eobject = resource.getContents().get(0);

So where I should write this piece of code in Xtext project I mean in which file (Sorry for being funny in asking such thing Embarrassed

)

Hi,

simply create a Plain Java Class Wink

e.g. in your DSLs runtime project.or somewhere else with your runtime project on classpath.

Christian,

Is it possible to process the models from existing files? Let's say, I have a project, and I want to get the AST/Parse tree from an existing file. That piece of code uses models, but I'm not sure how to link the models with the files.

Or, besides that, it would be better to have a Xtext builder and use that to gain access to each parsed file?

Thanks.

Hi!
Well, for example, within Eclipse' framework, using the API, I can get, let's say, a file from a project:
project.getFile("myfile").

But that returns an IFile instance. How can I convert it to a model so I can use that code:

ResourceSet rs = new ResourceSetImpl();
Resource resource = rs.getResource(URI.createURI("./mymodel.dmodel"), true);
EObject eobject = resource.getContents().get(0);

Or maybe, I should have a .dmodel file somewhere for that file?

Thanks,
Timo

Hi,

if the file is an instance of your dsl it should have the corresponding extension. to get an URI from an IFile see

Hi!

I am new to eclipse forum and registered here specially to ask this question, so please bear with my newby questions.

I defined the grammar of my DSL and was able to generate an editor and a code generator as showed here blog.efftinge.de/2011/06/five-simple-steps-to-fowlers-dsl-with(.html)
Now am trying to do processing on a living model (DSL runtime project). Its probably the same question:
Quote:

So where I should write this piece of code in Xtext project I mean in which file (Sorry for being funny in asking such thing Embarrassed )

This approach:
Quote:

doesnt work for me.
I assume, that i first have to include needed plugins in the build path of the DSL runtime project. Is that right?
Or do i have to implement this processor somewhere in my Xtext prject, where I define the grammar of my DSL?

Thank you for your replies

Vladimir

Hi,

runtime project means here: the project where you define the dsl and not the one you model within Wink

so if you want to read dsl files programatically you need the runtime project and some other deps on the path.

Hi there!

I've managed to get an instance of the Root of my grammar, from a specific file, using this code:

URI uri = URI.createPlatformResourceURI( file.getFullPath( ).toString( ), true );
ResourceSet resSet = new ResourceSetImpl( );
Resource res = resSet.getResource( uri, true );
EObject obj = res.getContents( ).get( 0 );
System.out.println( obj);

However, the first time I use that code, the eclipse freezes like 2-3 seconds. Just first time in a session. Afterwards goes just fine, instantly.

Is there a reason behind it? Or it's the same reason the editor takes a while first time, to init and all that stuff?

Thanks,
Timo

Hi Timo,

it's the same reason. The activator takes a moment to start.
