Programatic Loading of Multiple XText Projects with dependencies [message #1826290]

I have a use case where I start with two projects A and B in my eclipse workspace. Using project properties I add Project A as a dependency to Project B, then in project B I am able to use namespace imports to reference other packages defined in Project A and opening it in the editor those cross project dependencies are nicely resolved.

What I want to do is figure out how to load these xtext projects on the server-side where its running Equinox and the two projects are on the file system at a known location. I can easily traverse both projects to get DSL scripts but how would I resolve the dependency project B has on A? The way I currently go about this without cross project dependencies is creating a single XText Resource Set and load all the DSL scripts in the project. In this case would I use the same approach by adding all DSL scripts from Project A and B into the same resource and the dependencies will resolve or is there a different way to go about this?

Thanks for any input.

Right, basically all scripts must be contained in the same ResourceSet. Within Eclipse Xtext makes sure that these are automatically added/updated/removed and that there exists an abstraction of workspace projects and their dependencies. On the server side it's your responsibility.
