I've tried in vain to install TMF XText on Eclipse 3.4.2, using a fresh
install of the SDK.
The update manager complained about unsatisfied constraints for XText and
each of its dependencies.
Maybe 3.5M6 is not only preferred, but even required? If so, please update
the following pages:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/updates/
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Xtext/GettingStarted
With 3.5M6, I was able to complete the installation, but it's a bit
confusing that the XText feature pulls in some dependencies automatically,
but you still have to manually install MWE, XPand and missing parts of
EMF.
Even if there may be a good a reason for a minimal XText feature, it would
be convenient to have an all-in-one feature including everything to run
the XText examples.
Regards,
Harald

Hi Harald,
I'm afraid you are struggeling with the update manager of 3.4 and not
with Xtext. Some of us are still on 3.4 and we have no problems with Xtext.
Have you tried the one-click-install from
http://oaw.itemis.com/openarchitectureware/language=en/660/d ownloads
?
As I'm not familiar with P2, I cannot say whether we can change the
configuration of the Xtext feature, to make the install more pleasurable.
Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Ed,
I'm using EMF from CVS HEAD. Starting a runtime workbench, the plug-in
view indicates EMF 2.5.0, but the Eclipse About Dialog shows only EMF 2.4.1.
Xtext uses the MinimalEObject implementation, thus I guess EMF 2.5 is
working fine with Ganymede, although the update manager denies the update.
Regards,
Sebastian

Sebastian,
EMF has no version ranges checked into CVS so if you bootstrap directly
it might well work. But when we do a build, we inject the version
ranges based on what we build against.

As we just learned, Xtext requires EMF 2.5 requires Eclipse 3.5.
So even if it would technically work (for Sebastian it soemhow does), we
don't want to provide a recipe or the like as this will most likely
cause trouble.
Sorry, but TMF Xtext requires Eclipse 3.5.
Cheers,
Sven
