Format multiple files at once [message #1161205]

Hello,

is it possible to invoke the formatter on multiple Xtext source files at once, e.g. in the way Java sources can be formatted via the context menu of the Project Explorer (Source -> Format)? The Project Explorer has no such option and the keyboard accelerator Ctrl+Shift+F does only work in the editor.

Background: We have more then ten large Xtext files that we initially generate from some older XML model. Whenever the transformation is finished we have to open each file and invoke the formatter. It would be great if we could automate this a little.

Regards,
Volker
