How to update text in comments? [message #720073]

Greetings,

I have a grammar that "extends" (is that the correct word?) org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals ( http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-dt/source/browse/com.google.eclipse.protobuf/src/com/google/eclipse/protobuf/Protobuf.xtext .)

My question is, how can I update the text of comments (single-line or multi-line)?

For example, the proto editor has a feature to generate the next id of a message field. If the message has a comment like:

// Next Id: 2

I'd like to update such comment to:

// Next Id: 3

After generating the id of a new message field.

Many thanks in advance,
-Alex

Hi Alex,

you have to do that by manipulating the document or the input file
directly. Another option is to override some components of the
serializer to 'inject' other comments for your objects but I think this
would be more effort.

Regards,
Sebastian
