How to trigger the serializer on existing EMF model? [message #1001938]

I want to trigger the serializer from a context menu in my language editor on the existing EMF model, i.e. without re-parsing the source code... how can I obtain the Resource (and then the AST) starting from my command handler which extends AbstractHandler?

Thanks in advance. Smile

Hi,

am not quite sure what your problem is?
you may have a look at http://christiandietrich.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/xtext-calling-the-generator-from-a-context-menu/

Ok if I want my context menu to be a menuContribution with locationURI "popup:org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PackageExplorer", but what about if I want it to have instead locationURI="popup:#TextEditorContext?after=additions"?

In this case, how can I get the Resource in my handler to trigger the serializer on the EMF model? Is it possible to get it from that context? Confused
