Getting an IXtextDocument without open editor [message #1413082]

Hi,
is it possible to retrieve a org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.model.IXtextDocument from a resource/file without an editor opened?
Most of the code I found was getting it from an opened editor.
Background:
We want to do some processing of Xtext files with probably the same code as it is used with the editor. The only difference is, that we want to load the files directly.
Is this possible in some way?

Regards
Daniel

Hi,

can you be a bit more specific: what do you want to do with the files? do you actually need a xtext document or is the resource ok

Hi,
a normal Resource I can get using the ResourceSet...
As most of the code uses the xtext document it would be fine to be able to retrieve such one only using a URI or something similar.
The code I'm talking about is already existent and is performing some actions on it, mainly from commands.
We want to automate this.

Hi Daniel, Christian.

IIRC,somewhere in this forum there was some info
about starting the generator from the context menue without saving the file before.

Perhaps this may give you some inspiration how to start your processing.

Hi,
I will try it without the xtextdocument.
I will need to shift some of the functionality.
It is good to know then, not to relate to it in the functionality itself, if it is such a problem to retrieve an instance of it.
Thanks for your help.

Regards
Daniel
