I get the following error in my Grammar 2:

error(211): ../org.lunifera.metamodel.dsl.jpa/src-gen/org/lunifera/metamodel/dsl/jpa/parser/antlr/internal/InternalJpa.g:323:1: [fatal] rule ruleReference has non-LL(*) decision due to recursive rule invocations reachable from alts 1,3. Resolve by left-factoring or using syntactic predicates or using backtrack=true option.

I have a Grammar with 2 files.

Grammar 1

I get the error in Grammar 2.
Please help me why I get this error in Grammar 2.

Hi,

the problem is here:

ManyToManyAnnotation:
{ManyToManyAnnotation}
'@' name='ManyToMany' ('(' (('targetEntity='
targetEntity=JvmParameterizedTypeReference) ', '
'mappedBy='
mappedBy=ValidID)?
')')?;

And the fact that you have three differnent rules like this one here:
RefRefers:
(annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*

Because of that and the Structure of the Rule JvmParameterizedTypeReference:

JvmParameterizedTypeReference:
type=[JvmType|QualifiedName] (=>'<'
arguments+=JvmArgumentTypeReference (','
arguments+=JvmArgumentTypeReference)* '>')?;

The AST can grow to both sides. LEFT_RECURSION.

The easiest fix is to introduce a keyword in from of the list. ;-) But
that is really ugly.

RefRefers:
'annotations1' (annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*
'ref' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID ('['
lowerBound=BoundLiteral '..' upperBound=BoundLiteral ']')
';';

RefContains:
'annotations2'(annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*
'contains ref' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID ('['
lowerBound=BoundLiteral '..' upperBound=BoundLiteral ']')
';';

RefEmbedds:
'annotations3'(annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*
'embedded ref' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID
';';

If you do not really need a ParameterizedTypeReference you can use a
JvmType directly.

ManyToManyAnnotation:
{ManyToManyAnnotation}
'@' name='ManyToMany' ('(' (('targetEntity='
targetEntity=[types::JvmType|QualifiedName]) ', '
'mappedBy='
mappedBy=ValidID)?
')')?;

Do the whole grammar would look like this:

grammar org.lunifera.metamodel.dsl.jpa.Jpa with
org.lunifera.metamodel.dsl.entity.Entity

generate jpa "http://www.lunifera.org/metamodel/dsl/jpa/Jpa"
import "http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/xbase/Xbase" as xbase
import "http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/xbase/Xtype" as xtype
import "http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/common/JavaVMTypes" as types
import "http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/Xbase/XAnnotations"

JModel:
jmodel=EntityModel;

Entity:
(annotations+=JpaEntityAnnotation)*
'entity' name=ValidID ('extends' superType=JvmTypeReference)? '{'
features+=AbstractFeature* '}';

Property:
(annotations+=JpaPropertyAnnotation)*
varType='var' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID ';';

RefRefers:
(annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*
'ref' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID ('['
lowerBound=BoundLiteral '..' upperBound=BoundLiteral ']')
';';

RefContains:
(annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*
'contains ref' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID ('['
lowerBound=BoundLiteral '..' upperBound=BoundLiteral ']')
';';

RefEmbedds:
(annotations+=JpaReferenceAnnotation)*
'embedded ref' type=JvmTypeReference name=ValidID
';';

JpaAnnotation:
JpaEntityAnnotation | JpaPropertyAnnotation | JpaReferenceAnnotation;

JpaEntityAnnotation:
EmbeddableAnnotation | CachableAnnotation;

JpaPropertyAnnotation:
IdAnnotation | NullableAnnotation;

JpaReferenceAnnotation:
ManyToManyAnnotation;

EmbeddableAnnotation:
{EmbeddableAnnotation}
'@' name='Embeddable';

CachableAnnotation:
{CachableAnnotation}
'@' name='Cachable';

IdAnnotation:
{IdAnnotation}
'@' name='ID';

NullableAnnotation:
{NullableAnnotation}
'@' name='Nullable';

ManyToManyAnnotation:
{ManyToManyAnnotation}
'@' name='ManyToMany' ('(' (('targetEntity='
targetEntity=[types::JvmType|QualifiedName]) ', '
'mappedBy='
mappedBy=ValidID)?
')')?;


Cheers,

Holger
