I am running a headless application where I would like to use the ordinary EMF resource factory mechanism, so I can create Xtext resources for my language based on the file extension. However, it's the xtext.ui project that defines the resource factory in its plugin.xml, and I only want to depend on the xtext project.

I have extracted the necessary plugin.xml extensions and implemented my own ExecutableExtensibleFactory and Activator to make it work, but I'm surprised if this is the only way to do it? I also need to register the resource factory for xtextbin to make it work, as it tries to load the grammar model from an xtextbin file.

So, is there an easier way to use a language and load files with its extension in a headless application?

Hi,

there is a StandaloneSetup generated next to your grammar file that should do the trick in a non eclipse scenario. Is that what you meant or do you want to activate the runtime plugin in a headless Eclipse? Then you need to do the stuff you already did.

It's a headless Eclipse, so I cannot depend on the UI plugin. The current solution works, so I'll stick to that, thank you!
