How to launch web editor from eclipse? [message #1730778]

This may well be dumb question of the day.

I have a project in xtext 2.9.2. I can spin up the runtime eclipse instance as usual (run as->Eclipse Application).

I can't find out how to run the web editor. Googling only shows up how to do it for intellij via gradle.

Am I missing something? It's possible I forgot to tick a box at project creation; is there any way (a) to find out, and (b) if so to add retrospectively?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can use maven or gradle or simply run the generated ServerLauncher main class

I can't find a ServerLauncher class. Do I need to configure the workflow (mwe2) to generate it?

Thanks.

No it will be generated by the xtext generator inside the web project

If you don't have a project ending with .web in your workspace, it means you forgot to tick the "Web Integration" box in the project creation wizard. If you do that, you'll have to choose Maven or Gradle as build systems, both of which will include tasks for running the example server.

If you have a proper IDE integration for the chosen build system, e.g. Buildship for Gradle, you can simply run the ServerLauncher with Run As -> Java Application.
