Hello,

I created my DSL and tested it with "Eclipse Application". It works correctly.
Now, I would like to export it in a plug-in. I do not know how do that:
- can you explain me the different steps (It 's my first plug-in)

In the attachment, you find my error message

Thank you

Pascal

Hi, Can you share what you actually do on export? Which options did you choose in the create xtext project wizard?

Pascal,
do you use a build system?
You can select it in the "New Xtext project" wizard.
I would suggest to select the following in the wizard:

- create feature
- create updatesite (<- this will allow you to distribute your language)
- build system = "maven"
- source layout ="plain"

After running the maven build you will get an update site in:
org.xtext.svc.repository/target/repository

Thanks for your answer.

Dennis : I do not use build system (Maven, Gradle)

Dennis - Christian : My project had the default option (Eclipse plugin, Generic IDE Support, Testing Support).
I did a new project and added the option Create Feature but the I have the same problem. My project is the default project.

Pascal,
it's really not easy to write a PDE feature export "How to". The best would be to re-run the new Xtext wizard with a build system selected. After that you can paste you grammar + additional changes in the new created projects

Best regards.

Thanks for your answer. I tried it yesterday but did not work.
I suppose I have to do that : https://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/350_continuous_integration.html
before to use the Maven build.
