Xtext and CNF (Common Navigator Framework) [message #735039]

Hi together,

I am looking for an example on how to use the common navigator framework with the EMF model of Xtext.

Here is a tutorial on CNF end EMF:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclipse-emf/

However, I did not manage to connect it to the Xtext model.

My vision is a general tree based editor, like I described it in my first post here:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/730937/

The combination of Xtext and CNF should somehow do the trick?!

I did not manage to add popup menus to the Xtext outline but I think with CNF it could work. (Maybe it would make sense to generate classes for a CNF by default instead of the files for the outline, since CNF is more flexible?)

Best regards,

Stefan

Under the hood, an Xtext is an EMF model so hooking up CNF with that should be simple enough (Xtext takes care of the registration of a correct IResourceFactory itself) once you know how to get to the model and that's explained (somewhat) briefly somewhere in the User's Guide. Apart from that: customizing the Xtext outline works so well in Xtext2.0+ that there's no real need for Xtext users to go the CNF route, which could explain why it hasn't been done yet.
