Hello,

I have a large DSL grammar, so when generating the Xtext artifacts it takes so much time. Is there a way to accelerate this process? Can I divide the large grammar into 2 or 3 Xtext projects and import the grammars in one single project?

Thanks

Hi

Use a RAM disk, make sure you have a huge VM, use a VM monitor to check
you are not thrashing.

Splitting a grammar into multiple projects will create extra work. Xtext
has no modular support for modular grammars. Grammar hierarchy is flattened.

If you have a huge grammar perhaps you also have a huge workspace. Try
closing as many projects and uninstalling as many add-ons as possible.
Try disabling build-all until you are done. The builder can easily start
too soon and make a complete mess of transient state.

Regards
