Hi @all!
I've just startet working with Xtext and finished my first project to test its functionality. Now I'd like to take a look behind the scenes of Xtext and startet setting up the workspace as described on eclipse.org -> Xtext -> developers -> workspace setup (sorry, but I cannot use a link since this is my first post). I'm not sure if I've done everything right, because there are more than 900 errors in the imported projects.
Does anybody know if there is a more detailed description about how to set up the workspace for developing Xtext? Or does anybody have tips and tricks how to do so?
Probably there are plugins missing, but I don't have any idea where and what to search...
Thanks for your help!
Stefanie

Hi @all and hi Lorenzo,
I followed the instructions in bug 344816 and imported all the named projects to my workspace, but there are still 194 errors left. Lots of errors say "the import org.eclipse.emf.transaction cannot be resolved" and i thougth it would help to import the projects of org.eclipse.emf.transaction. Therefore I downloaded "emf-transaction-Update-1.4.0.zip" from eclipse.org and installed it in my eclipse using "help => install new software". But the errors still exist.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot, Stefanie

I think that emf transaction should be in the target platform... but
that's just my thought... probably it would be better to get emf
transaction from sources as well?

There is currently Xtext 2.0.0RC2 available.
p2 will grab all needed runtime dependencies, so you should be able to
compile.

Thus, in general, the best workspace setup to get the sources of Xtext
is to use a recent xtext distribution as well, isn't it?

cheers

Hi again,

I tried to install Xtext SDK as Dennis said in his post:
Eclipse User wrote on Tue, 24 May 2011 05:54
Originally posted by:

http:**download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/
There is currently Xtext 2.0.0RC2 available.
p2 will grab all needed runtime dependencies, so you should be able to
compile.

But using the update functionality of eclipse it says, Xtext is already installed.
The environment I'm using is the following:

  • Eclipse installation: eclipse-SDK-3.6-xtext-1.0.1-win32
  • Target platform: eclipse-SDK-3.5.2-xtext-2.0-targetplatform-win32

As I wrote in a previous post, I followd the instructions in bug 344816 and imported all the named projects to my workspace.

I don't know what to do now... Is there any eclipse distribution I can use that provides all nesseccary plugins / imports and whatever I need?

Thanks a lot,
Stefanie
