I would like to create a Graphiti editor which provides a graphic view of my file.myDSL.

I read a lot here and over here and I would like to know if any of you had any experience with this kind of use case ?

I am currently working on it, i.e working on linking my Graphiti editor to my generated EMF model in Xtext.

But I haven't found some ints or example (I exclude the GMF one provided in Xtext doc).

And I'm specially worried about the two-way synchronization when modify the file in Xtext editor and Graphiti one at the same time.

Any informations would be appreciated Smile

EDIT : I also try to build a graphiti diagram with Spray but I had some bugs which are registered in issues page in Spray Google Code page.

Hi there!

I'm having the same issue here. I have exported the ecore DSL-model and built up the XText editor upon it. This ecore model is also used for Graphiti and the Graphiti editor shall be able to parse partial code snippets, by calling the parser generated by XText.
Have you made any progress regarding your posted issues like synchronisation etc.?

Best regards,
Alex.
