Hello,
I'm looking for a certrain Xtext-feature which I believe that I saw a few years ago, but can't find it now... I want my files (which are being processed by Xtext editors) to have a "small outline" within the project explorer (similar to JDT), so that you can expand a file-node in the project explorer and see its contents right within the project explorer. (Like in JDT where you can expand any *.java-file in the project explorer to see that classes that are defined in this file and so on.)
I know that I could implement this by hand by implementing a navigator content provider (even though I'm not sure how to get access to my model on that level, but I guess I'll figure that out later), but I think I remember that Xtext had a built-in feature for that some time ago...
Can anyone give me a pointer where to look for that? (Maybe I just need to add a special generator fragment or something?)
Thanks in advance,
Ralph.

No, that's never been in Xtext. GMF Tooling provides something similar.
Please note that for reasons of scalability and performance you should
not load / parse the resources but use the indexed information instead.
