Hi,
Is there a DSL toolkit update site available for Eclipse 3.7.1 Indigo?

If not, what are the required dependencies, natures and builders that I need to add to a standard GMF project, to make it work similar to a DSL project?

Update: I added a patch file, looking at differences between the dsltk-1.0 generated project, and a GMF project, without removing the java nature and java builder. I hope that's all there is to it!

I am not sure it answers your question but XText provides a very nice
toolkit to develop DSL using EMF.

Hi,

the Amalgam project (http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/amalgam/) is active but no effort has been made since the Ganymede release to maintain the examples described in the book.

We would welcome any contribution in this regard by the way.

On the other hand a new set of examples using Acceleo and Xtext has been started during the google summer of code program :

Elvis wanted to use GMF or similar to build a DSL, so he wants to do a
DSL with diagram syntax, not with text syntax.

So I think it does not answer the question.

I asked the GMF Team in Prague whether they can help to get the original
examples from the book working again.

Regards, Philipp
