I've found a strange effect in the following grammar:

grammar org.xtext.bug.BuggyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate buggyDsl "..."

Model:
	(types+=Type)*;
	
Type:
	BaseType | EntityType | Reference;
	
BaseType:
	PrimitiveType | StructuredType;

PrimitiveType:
	StringType | NumberType;
	
StringType:
	"string" name=ID length=INT;

NumberType:
	"number" name=ID scale=INT precision=INT;

StructuredType:
	"structure" name=ID "{"
		(attributes+=Attribute)*
	"}";
	
EntityType:
	"entity" name=ID "{"
		(properties+=Property)*
	"}";

Property:
	Attribute | UnaryReference | MultipleReference;
	
Attribute:
	baseType=[BaseType|ID] name=ID;

Reference:
	UnaryReference | MultipleReference;

UnaryReference:
	"unary-ref" targetEntity=[EntityType|ID] name=ID; 

MultipleReference:
	"multi-ref" targetEntity=[EntityType|ID] name=ID; 
	


When I change the rule for "Property" to the more obvious...

Property:
	Attribute | Reference;


...the Xtext editor complains that "There may not be two features named 'name'". This grammar worked with Xtext1 in oAW as far as I know.

Any ideas?

Martin

Strange. I just once more unpacked Eclipse Juno+Xtext ("eclipse-SDK-4.2-Xtext-2.3.0-win32.zip"), started it, created an Xtext project and pasted the grammar above (with the changed rule listed at the end of my initial posting). I immediatly get the syntax error mentioned above - strange :-/.

Taken from the ticket:

What your grammar describes is bascially that a Reference is a Type and
Property. Both, Type and Property define an attribute called 'name' which is
illegal in EMF since reference may not inherit the a field called 'name'
from
both super classes. By changing the rule 'Property' you implicitly
change the
inheritance relationship of Reference. Therefore the modified grammar works.
You may want to switch to an imported ecore model to get rid of that.

Regards,
Sebastian
