Correct way to build with xtext? [message #1410376]

I'm trying to build a product that includes a component with a dependency on xtext. I've included the org.eclipse.xtext.runtime and org.eclipse.xtext.ui features from the repository at http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/releases, however the runtime feature complains about a missing dependency on org.eclipse.xtend. I've tried including the org.eclipse.xtend.sdk feature, but this has a dependency on the org.eclipse.xtext feature! If I try both the org.eclipse.xtend.sdk and org.eclipse.xtext.sdk features, there is still a missing dependency on org.eclipse.xtend.

Can someone please tell me or point me at a document that describes how to build with xtext!

Thanks,
Greg

Hi,

org.eclipse.xtend is the old one. you should find it on the luna update site. it is e.g. in org.eclipse.xpand.sdk

Hi

The default Xtext project pair is user-friendly and so includes the
build functionality in the parser plugin.

For Eclipse OCL, I use a separate build plugin for all the MWE scripts
so that the editor plugins are stripped down to the bare minimum that
actually does parsing/editing rather than editor development. I have no
significant dependency problems, apart from a minor ergonomic gripe that
the xtend plugin comes from the Xpand rather than the Xtext distribution
where the rest of xtend comes from.

Regards
