Accessing comments in Xtext grammars [message #905901] Fri, 31 August 2012 09:30 Go to next message

Hello,

I would like to annotate my rules using comments as there are no explicit annotations. I have seen that the comments are not transferred into the XMI model and are also not modeled in the Xtext meta model. However, in the generated *.services.*GrammarAccess.java file the comments are present.

Is there a way to access the comments in the Xtext grammar files e.g. to write them into a separate file using the MWE2 workflow?

Regards,
Mathias

Hi,

(a) use them explicit in the grammar (unhide them + assign them to a feature)
(b) use the NodeModelUtils to access the node model. you find hidden leaf nodes for the comments there.

Hi,

thanks for the reply but I am not completely understanding you. I do not mean the Xtext comments ML_COMMENT and SL_COMMENT. I mean the actual user comments that you can put into an Xtext file with '//' or '/* */'. So, it does not add anything to the language as it is only a comment. However, since it is copied to the *.services.*GrammarAccess.java it must have been parsed somehow.

Regards,
Mathias

Hi the parsed text is the node model and you can access it using the
nodemodelutil class
