Hi,

I want to convert the plain language into java code using xext, xbase.
Please provide some docs or share the example code for below sample scenario.

If employee age is greater than 60 then print "sixty"

I want to know how xtext file will be for this simple statement. How the xtext file can be converted to java?

Thanks.

Hi

You want to look at natural language processing. Sometimes I gather it even achieves 95% accuracy. Conversely that means 5% of programs are wrong, a far worse error rate than most programmers achieve.

I very much doubt that Xtext is suitable for natural language parsing.

xbase makes only sense if you have a java like semantics and syntax/expressions.
to generate java from a dsl simply produce the java code you wish using a normal IGenerator(2)
