Hi,
I've been using Xcore for a while, getting the code from git, and
patching EMF to make it compile. I believe Ed mentioned somewhere that
the EMF changes are in EMF 2.8, does this mean it's better to start
using Eclipse 2.8 aka Juno?
I was very sorry I couldn't attend EclipseCon Europe this year, e.g.
missing the talk about Xcore. Were there any announcements about an
official release, transition to eclipse from github, or anything
relevant for early adopters? Are there slides available?
Best regards,
Hallvard Trætteberg

Yes, the HEAD stream and hence the latest 2.8 build contains all the
necessary changes in EMF. Also, Xtext 2.1 is released, so those changes
are available in a build as well.

I believe all the talks were recorded by the FOSSLC folks. I don't
think they're available yet...

Great! I downloaded Eclipse Modeling Tools from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/index-developer.php, upgraded to Xtext
2.2 (nightly build) and pulled from Xcore git
(https://github.com/merks/Xcore) and all the error markers went away.
Well, nearly all... the Java and Xtend2 code compiled, but the
Xcore.xtext file still has lots of errors like this one:
Cannot find compatible feature instanceType in sealed EClass XDataType
from imported package http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2011/Xcore: The
existing reference 'instanceType' has an incompatible type
'JvmTypeReference'. The expected type is 'JvmTypeReference'.
Still, the workflow runs and the result works. However, the error
markers are very annoying, because they hide 'real' errors. What's the
cause of these error markers, is because there are several instances of
the 'same' EPackage? What is the standard way of getting rid of them?

I'm looking forward to them.

Hallvard,
I've seen those types of things too. We've never had time to track them
down. Sometimes closing the project and opening it again makes it
happy. One of these days we'll need to track down the source of that...

Hallvard,
Definitely it's related to duplicates. At one point I fixed it by
adding an import that's not really needed, but sometimes it comes back
again. I'll need to run under debug control and probably will need the
Kiel guys' help. Hopefully we can do that during my next trip to Kiel.
