Hi

in the documentation, when speaking of Xbase extension methods, we read

"Used in combination with the implicit parameter name in closures you
can write extension libraries to create ..."

but the link about extension libraries, does not bring anywhere... so,
how can we create an extension library? I mean, if I have a Java class,
that I'd like to be visible in my DSL Xbase expressions as extension
methods, what should I do? Is it documented somewhere?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

Hey,

I already had a similiar problem. You may want to register a custom ExtensionClassNameProvider.
See this solution here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/262355/758328/#msg_758328 - yes, you have to add all operators on your own.

regards,
Max

thanks Max for the link!

Actually I don't need new operators, but only some extension methods
that should be available in the DSL

cheers
