Hi,
Does xtext support generating corresponding GMF plugins? Since the EMF
ecore file can be used to create a GMF plugin, the question is, would the
outcome TMF and GMF plugins be synchronised at runtime? For example, when
we edit the GMF diagram, does it automatically update the TMF text file
and vice versa? Is the same applied to an EMF editor?

Hi Auerliano,
yes, you can edit a model that was created with an Xtext editor with a
GMF Editor. It is stored in plain text.
However, Xtext supports some features, that other editors are not aware
of (namely classpath URIs). Furthermore some issues with serialization
are still pending. But if you try to avoid problematic constructs in
your concrete textual syntax, then you can use generic (EMF), graphical
(GMF) and textual (Xtext) editors in parallel.

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
When you say 'it is stored in plain text', do you mean the xml file shared
between EMF, GMF and TMF editors? When I create a *.dmodel file for the
domainmodel example, I don't see any xml file being created as well, but
EMF and GMF do share the xml file. Am I missing something?

Hi Auerliano,
no I didn't mean an XML file, but the dmodel-file itself.
It should be possible to open the dmodel-file with the generic ecore
editor, modify it and press save.

Sebastian
