Hi

I´m currently developing my first RCP application with Xtext as part of my editor to simplify model manipulation process. However i have a little problem to deal with the scenario where the user might want to add and remove the part of the DSL syntax after deployment.

Is it possible to automate the syntax modification process within the RCP ?
I was thinking something like making an additional plugin to do this is it possible ?

I´m open for all suggestions, thanks in advance

You cannot change the syntax without modifying the grammar and regenerating the parsers. You can however have validations which effectively disable certain parts.
