Use XText in batch mode [message #1837586]

As far as I understand to use XText there are 3 plugins to be created ( basic, ui, test)
As far as I understand xtext builder participant can be overriden in the xtext ui plugin which depends on eclipse ui plugins such as org.eclipse.ui.ide causing exceptions due to failures to create the Display in ui plugins.

I am trying to get XText to work in batch mode, so is it possible to:
1. get XText to fully work in batch mode with no Ui plugin dependencies?
or
2. override and bind xtext builder participant in the xtext basic plugin?
or
3. Is there some other way to do it?

I have seen https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=818736&goto=1431076&#msg_1431076 looks like a similar problem but could not find a solution

Hi, what do you mean by batch mode?

Stand-alone java main? Maven? Gradle? Headless eclipse?
If you mean the latter you need a customized activator that creates
Different bindings than the generate AbstractXXXuiModule and its superclasses do
(Basically a big copy and paste that leaves out stuff that is display/ui related but keeps other stuff that is workspace and build related

Hi

You do not need to use ui or test plugins. The basic editor plugin is adequate to support standalone usage. All the non-UI JUnit tests of the OCL and QVTd project run standalone. Provided you use your XXXStandaloneSetup, you should find that a *.xxx file just loads in the same way as any other EMF resource.
