Hi!

I'm in the process of migrating my xtext 1.0 project to xtext 2.0. Wow, there are so many changes Razz

.

However, there are a some (many) things I see they are missing from the new xtext. I've read 2 times the migration guide, but couldn't find any answer. Maybe you could help me.

I've used before "DefaultBracketMatcher". But now it's not available. How can I re-implement the functionality? For example, I've used that, to highlight corresponding tag:

[tag]
..
[/tag]

So when clicking on , the [/tag] end would be highlighted.

Consequent with that the "IBracketPairAcceptor" doesn't exist either.

Hi,

i guess Xtext now uses Jfaces org.eclipse.jface.text.source.DefaultCharacterPairMatcher
but i don't know if this is easily adopable since you want to match string not characters.

Christian,

You are right. According to commit: https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/commit/0208e87e49268f5fcce9a1a76d10be1cd7ff6d2d the jface thingy should be used.

Even though, if I am honest, my old "bracket" (wannabe tag) matching was a bit ugly, which broke encapsulation. That is, I used some magic, and set the node to have a special value based on how I color it. I guess I'll should ... rework that. Razz

Do you have any ideas how you would implement the highlighting of the matching tag? That is, the *whole* tag ([/tag] or [tag]) to be highlighted, not just a character. Even if it's a small idea maybe it will help me Smile

Thanks.,
Timo
