In our xtext language we reference java classes.
I want to create a validation that checks whether eclipse knows this class
In other words, ask eclipse whether there is a class of this qualified name (incl. package) in the workspace - in src or libraries.

Additionally (if possible) check if that class is not final so classes generated by the dsl can inherit from it.

I know of jvmType.
We decided not to use them so we could compile the whole project with maven.
If we used jvmtype, we had a cyclic dependency between the java-compiler and the dsl-compiler.
The above check would only be in eclipse not in maven.

Is there a way to get this information other than using jvmType?

Hi,

you can do the very same as jvm types does yourself. you have to dig into JDTs apis for that.
but questions about jdts apis are better asked in JDT group i think.

btw Xtends maven plugin can handle this cyclic problem so you may be able to do this as well.

Hi,

just gave it a try and it is kind of a 20liner

Model:
	refs+=Ref*
;

Ref:
	"ref" ref=FQN
;
FQN: ID ("." ID)*;


@ImplementedBy(ITypeValidationHelper.NullImpl.class)
public interface ITypeValidationHelper {
	
	boolean validate(URI uri, String name);
	
	public static class NullImpl implements ITypeValidationHelper {

		@Override
		public boolean validate(URI uri, String name) {
			return true;
		}
		
	}

}


public class MyDslJavaValidator extends AbstractMyDslJavaValidator {
	
	@Inject
	ITypeValidationHelper tvh;

	@Check
	public void checkType(Ref ref) {
		if (!tvh.validate(ref.eResource().getURI(), ref.getRef())) {
			warning("type does not exist", MyDslPackage.Literals.REF__REF);
		}
	}

}


public class JdtTypeValidationHelper implements ITypeValidationHelper {
	
	@Inject
	IWorkspace workspace;

	@Override
	public boolean validate(URI uri, String name) {
		IProject project = workspace.getRoot().getFile(new Path(uri.toPlatformString(true))).getProject();
		IJavaProject javaProject = JavaCore.create(project);
		try {
			IType type = javaProject.findType(name);
			return type != null;
		} catch (JavaModelException e) {
			return false;
		}
	}

}


public class MyDslUiModule extends AbstractMyDslUiModule {
	public MyDslUiModule(AbstractUIPlugin plugin) {
		super(plugin);
	}
	
	public Class<? extends ITypeValidationHelper> bindITypeValidationHelper() {
		return JdtTypeValidationHelper.class;
	}
}

thank you.
That solved it.

In case anyone has a similar problem:
final URI uri = javaType.eResource().getURI();
final String qualifiedName = javaType.getQualifiedName();
if (qualifiedName != null && uri != null) {
    final IJavaProject javaProject = JavaCore.create(workspace.getRoot().getFile(new Path(uri.toPlatformString(true))).getProject());
    final IType type = javaProject.findType(qualifiedName);
    if (type == null) {
        error(...);
    } else {
        if (Flags.isFinal(type.getFlags())) {
            error(...);
        }
    }
}

That code is included in the already existing validator.
