Hello all,

I am looking into possible solutions to enhance our current language editor. xtext was the first thing that came to mind. The problem is that we have a metamodel defined in a non-standard format. Code for our tool uses this and is generated in java. If we were to use xtext the generated code would be in EMF if I understand correctly. This would be only a small portion of our tool, but would require us to somehow tie our generated java with the generated EMF classes. Is there a standard way to do this? What we would need is a way to associate some border classes with the generated EMF classes so that traversals could occur from our metamodel based code to the xtext generated EMF code.

Kind Regards,
Travis
