Adding a terminal makes UI editor fail? [message #1391799] Tue, 01 July 2014 12:28 Go to next message

Hey!

I'm running out of ideas here. What i ultimately want is to color java-doc style comments (/** -> */) differently from normale comments (/* -> */). I started experimenting with adding an additional terminal and shadowing the existing ML_COMMENT so that it only matches comments with one star. I had troubles with that. I reduced my changes to only adding a new hidden terminal which handles a completely different syntax (for testing):

terminal MY_DOC_COMMENT	: '(**' -> '*)';


this terminal is hidden, so should not interfere with anybody... However now when i fire up eclipse (without changing a single model file), it gives me this error /after/ the first keyword in each file (why after the first keyword?! why at all? i just added a terminal that nobody is using (yet)):

Multiple markers at this line
- missing EOF at '\n\n'
- extraneous input ' ' expecting RULE_ID

What am i doing wrong?

hmmm.. as soon as i remove the "hidden(MY_DOC_COMMENT)" instruction, it works (i cannot add comments inline of course because they are not expected at that location .... nobody uses the terminal rule after all)

nevermind... still not my day today - i need to specify /all/ terminals that should be hidden, not only the ones from this file. otherwise WS is no longer hidden and a whitespace will be a syntax error... Sad
