Hi
After I installed my plug in, while i am creating a something.mydsl file
eclipse asks me "Do you want to add Xtext nature?"
What does it mean? I dont see any changes on the editor feature whether I say yes/no.

Hi,

this enables the Xtext builder and thus nice features like "the index", code gen etc.

Hi,

if you want linking to work, you need the Xtext nature (in 99.999% of the cases), so you basically cannot avoid the Xtext nature. You could make sure that all projects where you place Xtext models do have the Xtext nature. Also, there are a couple of threads in this forum already dealing with that topic.

Hi Caner,

you could avoid the dialog and add the nature implicitly.
Therefore you have to provide a customized NatureAddingEditorCallback.

Regards,
Sebastian
