Hi xTexters,

when opening an xtext/dsl project, is it possible to trigger some startup actions (eg parsing a config)?

cheers, BB

A builder would see that happening - or is that too late?

Hi, Henrik,

I need some lookup tables initialized before indexer or scopeProvider can be called.

I'm not sure if I know what a builder is and when it's getting active. Embarrassed

A Builder runs when resources change (added, removed, etc). You can hook
one in to be initializing indexes etc. Using this approach, the very
first build may happen before your builder runs, and you just need to
make sure you do not crash in that state. Your builder generates
whatever it needs and then schedules a rebuild.

You can probably hook into the actual opening of the project some way to
allow you to do stuff before the xtext builder(s) gets to execute.
