[xtext] about EMF created by xtext [message #1401770]

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to have a cyclic emf metamodel through xtext grammar.
For example;
As you know, in UML metamodel we have a structure like this

class Element {
...
ownedElement:Element // ownedElement[]
...
}

I would like to have exactly the same output in automatic emf created by xtext's compile for a specific grammar.
If it's impossible how can I achieve this through other ways because I need to have this is model created in runtime.

Thanks.

Hi,

if you solve potential left recursions this is no problem ?!?
