I have an existing Xtend class and want to access it as an emf model to be able to use its elements in my DSL.
Is ist possible to retrieve an Xtend class as emf model ?
if yes how ?

Can you be a bit more specific on what you are doing.
Simply define the reference as you would do it for other cross Lang references
And go for it should work

I want to read the class members from the emf model (abstract methods) to be able to offer implementation info in my model which the generator should generate the real implementation from.
