So I have this project which has some really funky stuff. Basically I have files:
- BuildIn.ext
- Checks.chk
...

As I understand .ext was the old "XTend" language which has been replaced with Xpand, if I recall correctly. But the Checks.chk really trips me up. What version of Xtext is this? And how should I go about migrating?

Hi,

in former Xtext versions it was possible to write Validation rules in the Check language from good old oAW.
The .ext file may simply contain some helper extension used in the Checks.
now you usually write these checks in Java (See YourDslJavaValidator).

What exactly do you mean by YourDslJavaValidator? Is there an example? Also is that language Xtext 1.0 or 0.7?
