when you run the new eclipse instance, have you created an Plug-in
Project? If so, please make sure to add xbase.lib bundle as a dependency.
hope this helps
cheers

Lorenzo,
Yes, thank you, I did what you suggested and I now only have one error:
Unhandled exception type java.io.IOException testfile.euclid2
I have now updated this page:
www.euclideanspace.com/software/development/eclipse/xtext/xbase/build/
to show how I am now calling the runtime instance of Eclipse.
I think it would be good if this information could be put into the Xtext documentation (or alternatively in Lorenzos tutorials) as it may not be obvious to beginners (at least it was not to me). You are most welcome to use, or adapt anything from the above webpage.
Also, as I mentioned before, I would welcome some sort of documentation/tutorial to explain how all the top level components of xbase fit together.
Thanks again,
Martin

Hi there
some comments...
I took a quick look at your webpage; when I was talking about dep on
xbase.lib I was referring NOT to your Xtext project, but to the new
example project you create in the new Eclipse instance.
Concerning this part
"I tried to add org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib to Reqired Plugins and
imported packages in dependancies tab of MANIFEST.MF but
org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib was not availible in list. So instead I
right clicked on 'Plug-in Dependancies' Build path -> Configure Build
Path and added it there."
org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib was not available in the list because (I'm
pretty sure) your xtext project already depends on
org.eclipse.xtext.xbase which in turns already depends on
org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib (thus the dep you're trying to add should be
redundant).

I did not completely understand what you are implementing, but you're
starting from the Script example, right?
in the testfile
(http://www.euclideanspace.com/software/development/eclipse/xtext/xbase/build/build16_400.png)
you access this method
public static List<String> readLines(File file, Charset charset)
throws IOException
from com.google.common.io right?
you see that this method throws an IOException and the Xbase validator
raises an error because your block does not handle exceptions at all...
try to wrap, in the example, that Files::readLines(...) into an Xbase
try catch block and the error should go away...
if you don't want to have to deal with exceptions in your DSL you have
to redefine the XbaseJavaValidator method which performs these checks
I've done something similar in one of my DSLs, e.g.,
http://sourceforge.net/p/xsemantics/code/ci/68395a1c0bed6fa2f3cdf7a0220a49d4f27c98ae/tree/plugins/it.xsemantics.dsl/src/it/xsemantics/dsl/validation/XsemanticsJavaValidator.java
@Override
protected boolean supportsCheckedExceptions() {
// we generate Java code which already handles exceptions
return false;
}
but, BE CAREFUL, you will then have to tweak code generation (i.e.,
XbaseCompiler) so that, for instance, the whole generated Java block is
wrapped inside a try catch block... otherwise, the generated Java code
will not compile...
hope this helps

Lorenzo,
Thanks, very much, for your reply.

Yes, I was looking for very simple working xbase code which I could use as a stating point and then add my specific DSL features.
However I think I have found a better approach and I am having much more success with this. I am now basing my code on the xtend code. I did the following to give simple code which has basic object-oriented functionality and can be easily extended to add the special language features required for a given DSL.
I took the xtend grammar file and removed the 'rich string' stuff (The code is on the page below). I then constructed a simple JvmModelInferrer.xtend' file to generate the code from the grammar (code also on page below).
This is all I did, all the rest is just as generated by the 'new xtext' wizard. Obviously this does not have the same functionality as the xtend code, but its not intended to, it is intended as a very simple working code which can then be extended in various ways to add project specific DSL features as required.
See this page for the code and step by step instructions:
www.euclideanspace.com/software/development/eclipse/xtext/xbase/build/
What I would like is for the xtext developers to add a 'new xbase' wizard which would build such a project without having to add any code. It would also be good if they could provide better reference information to explain how to write the JvmModelInferrer.xtend file from scratch
Thanks again,
Martin
