Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply.
I am not looking for any DSL development.
Nor am I looking to build a compiler.
The pony language has a LLVM compiler already in place.
I just want to use xtext to see if I can create an Eclipse IDE for pony Lang. (www.ponylang.org).

I thought I would need to create xtext grammar from the antlr grammar and generate eclipse ide plugin using xtext.



Regards

Yes you need to port the antlr grammar to a Xtext grammar.
There is no guide on how to turn x in antlr to y in Xtext.
But if you give the Xtext grammar language a brief read
It should be doable

Unfortunately it is still work and thus I cannot do it for you.
