I have been playing with XText for a short time, wondering should I use it on a project.

Is it possible to generate everything from the grammar programmatically at runtime in a normal JVM (ie. running "headless")? Even the EMF Model? I may be fundamentally misunderstanding something here, it's been a while since I dipped my toes in modeling waters!

Hi do you mean building a binary from the language. This is usually
done using tycho or buck minister.

Or do you mean reading the model and processing it?

The MWE2 workflow is executed in a new plain JVM, so the answer is: Yes,
you can. Have a look at org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.launch.runtime.Mwe2Launcher
