Hello,
I am looking for open source projects using Xtext. I would like to use those projects to study how models built using textual DSLs evolve over time.

Can you suggest any name?
You could also provide me some projects which are not open-source if you can give me access to the source code.

I am hope this is not too much OT for the forum,

Federico

No, I did not know that website, thank you for the advice.

By the way those are projects developing a DSL using XText, I would need some projects usings a DSL developed by Xtext, because I am loolink into the development of artefacts realized with a textual DSL, not into the evolution of the definition of a language.

Hi,

i dont see why these should be two different things. developing a dsl without using it is useless.

Of course, I agree with you.

The projects listed in Xtext Community are projects which develop DSLs, not necessarily projects which uses those DSLs. Those projects are different, in the same way that Xtext itself and projects using it are separated.

If you consider Xtext as the meta-metamodel, a DSL developed with it as the metamodel I am looking for the model.

For example the first project listed under Xtext Community is APPlause (http://applause.github.com/). The project contains the source code of the language itself and some examples but any real appliacation developed with it. So I can not find what I am looking for under APPlause. I wrote this message hoping to find someone who created a DSL _AND_ is using it in a project. Another option is to find someone who is just using a DSL developed by someone (for example APPlause).

Yes, I am aware that some examples are available (as I wrote in my previous post) but I would like to study the evolution of real applications, not examples built to show some functionalities.

Cloudsmith/geppetto at github has support for developing Puppet DSLs.

The Puppet community is large, with lots of available source code in
various places (many at github). Best place to get in contact with the
community is via the user mailinglist (also available as a newsgroup at:
gmane.comp.sysutils.puppet.user )

This one is a real application. MADS (Multipurpose Agricultural Data System) is a free open-source tool for modelling and analysis of agricultural activities - crops, livestock, forestry and others - in developing countries, at sector, regional or project level. Data entry, i.e. the definition of models with all their parameters, is done using a DSL written using XText. An interpreter runs calculations and produces results. It can be found at http://mads.sourceforge.net/.

First of all thank you to everyone for the good advices.

@Christian: yes, examine Xtext grammars would be very interesting and a nice idea. However I think grammars are a particular kind of models, which do not evolve a lot. Maybe Mwe2 scripts are a bit different. I want definitely to take a look into them.

@Henrik: that sounds perfect! I will write right now to the mailing-list

@Michel: I will look to this project, it sounds interesting.

Thank you guys!
