Hi Ed,
I am trying to implement for following scenario:
Quote:Updating comment to specify the requirement more clearly:
I have existing editors that persist values into XML format. I can't change the persistence format. I want to provide alternate dsl editor for the existing use cases. The existing XML have to be read as dsl format and content from dsl editor have to be persisted into XML format
Link to query in TMF forum: [url]http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/994350/#msg_994350
I thought in xcore you have done something similar that users can open their existing ecore file in the DSL format (xcore). But i found that you opted to have separate resource for xcore which i think is stored as plain text and not xmi based representation.
Since, you might have already looked into the possibilities from xText, i thought of asking this question to you directly. Is my use case not possible to achieve using xText ?
Regards,
Ashwani Kr Sharma

The persistence format it implemented by the derived ResourceImpl. For
XML persistence you need an XMLResourceImpl (or XMIResourceImpl for XMI
serialialization). Persisting to another representation is often just a
matter of creating the appropriate type of resource an moving the
contents to that resource.

No.

Yes.

I think a few people have asked that before on that forum, so you should
have a look at the forum history.
