Returning non-EMF data types from EOperations generated by Post-processor [message #778395]

Hello all,

I followed the second example here to add EOperations to our Xtext-generated EClasses. This is a very handy feature, but I'm curious if it is possible for such operations to have a plain Java (non-EMF) return type. For example, can the post-processor generate an operation that returns a java.awt.Color? Even if the type had to be fully qualified, that would be fine.

Thanks,

Daniel

HI,

you have at least to create a EDataType that maps to your java class.
