terminal rule interference [message #767697]

Hello,
I created a rule for a year terminal type defined as:
terminal YYYY:
('1'..'2')('0'..'9')('0'..'9')('0'..'9');

However, I've noticed that anywhere I specify an INT value that is set to a number that fits the above pattern, I get an error in the editor.
For example:

DeclareInt:
"Integer" name=ID '=' value=INT

gives an error when I set:
Integer foo = 1900

but it's ok when I set:
Integer foo=22222;

I must not be using the terminal logic correctly but not sure what's the best way around this issue.

Hi,

what about using year=INT and write a Java Validation that the int fits your needs to a year.

Alteratively you could use

MyInt returns ecore::EInt: YEAR |INT;

+ a ValueConverter
