How to enable running functionality in a new dsl [message #1771084]

Hi,
I searched through internet and couldn't find any documentation on implementing running functionality for a newly created dsl using xtext. Can you provide some reference for this?

Thank you.

Hi,
How the user can run the .mydsl file, for example like running java and get an output?
Thank you.

You can either implement a code generator that produces executable code (e.g. Java, but could be any target language) or write an interpreter. Both have to be implemented manually. For code generation you have already a stub.
