possibility to have one xtext editor for many files? [message #902922]

Morning Everybody

i'm working with xtext and Ecore.
i would like to know if:
it is possible to have one editor for many differents files with different extension?

that means, normally i have many xtext grammars for differents particular extension(may be call .eep .mem and .sys) and that doesn't help me.
so i want to have one xtext grammar and one xtext editor to manage different extension files( .mem , .eep , .sys) and i want to know if that is possible?

Best regards
Frank

Hi yes this is possible. You can configure a list of extensions in
the language workflow but note: you still have only one entry rule
for the parser and thus to ensure via check that the right content
goes to the right file

As I said: there is a property in the workflow. (Don't forget to
merge plugin.XML_gen to plugin.xml

i saw the place where i will put differents extension
but how do i separate the differents extensions. i have added the extension pdp like this

var grammarURI = "classpath:/org/xtext/example/mydsl/MyDsl.xtext"
var file.extensions = "mydsl , pdp"
var projectName = "org.xtext.example.mydsl"
var runtimeProject = "../${projectName}"

but is not working

"mydsla,mydslb" works for me. But as I said: you may have to merge
(copy) plugin.xml_gen to plugin.xml in the runtime and UI project
