Hi

I'd like to have in my grammar something like

FeatureLabelSpecification:
parameterType=JvmTypeReference ':' feature=XFeatureCall

in order to be able to write in my DSL something like

Person:name
Writer:surname

where Person and Writer are EMF generated classes which have getName(),
getSurname() etc.

however, I cannot seem to implement scoping correctly

as a first solution I tried to add this in my custom scope provider

@Override
protected JvmDeclaredType getContextType(EObject obj) {
if (obj instanceof FeatureLabelSpecification) {
FeatureLabelSpecification featureLabelSpecification =
(FeatureLabelSpecification) obj;
return (JvmDeclaredType) featureLabelSpecification
.getParameterType().getType();
}

return super.getContextType(obj);
}

but then I get a validation error

ERROR:Static access to instance member getName

so I was wondering what would be a better (possibly the right :) way of
achieving this...

note that from FeatureLabelSpecification I will only need, during the
generation, only the strings of the Java type and feature ...

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

I guess 'feature' should be a cross reference to a JvmMember instead of
an XFeatureCall.
