Is it possible to distribute a grammar/editor created with Xtext as a plugin such that it could run on an Eclipse that does not have Xtext installed? I see it can be seperated from Java, so this would be the next step to making it completely standalone. I realise this may just be wishful thinking however. Thanks!

The generated editor has a strong dependency on the Xtext-runtime which, in turn, has a strong dependency on EMF. So, in practice you'll need about half of all the plugins comprising Xtext and EMF which makes it probably easier (imho) to just install Xtext and EMF than to try and ship all these plugins along with the editor. (Installing Xtext and EMF (e.g. from update site) is quite painless, after all.)

At first glance I thought there were only a half dozen dependencies, but then I looked deeper and saw that each one depended on further Xtext packages... Thanks for the reply Smile
