Hi,


I am new to xtext and trying to explore xtext . I have included my grammar and scope provider thanks to christian , Everytime i need to explicitly include my ecore within the project . Is there way in which i could load the ecore Eclass contents dynamically using Name spcae uri of the ecore.


Model:
	"EClass:" theEClass=[ecore::EClass|FQN] "Feature:" theFeature=[ecore::EStructuralFeature];	
FQN: ID("." ID)*;



public class MyDslscopeProvider extends AbstractDeclarativescopeProvider {
	
	public Iscope scope_Model_theFeature(Model model, EReference ref) {
		return scopes.scopeFor(model.getTheEClass().getEAllStructuralFeatures());
	}

}



For the above grammar text dsl project will look similar like this

 TestProject

    |- my.dsl

    |- sample.ecore



Everytime i need to include sample.ecore to show up classes in my project .. Is there way i could dynamically load and avoid adding sample.ecore everytime.


Regards,
Sri

Hi I guess some basic reading on ecore could help. There is a
EPackage.Registry (but of course the package has to be registered
there. But same as in the other thread. I don't know your usecase so
hard to say anything

Hi Christian ,

My use case is very simple .

I am trying to create a simple editor for configuring a name rule which is a String made of EClass and EStructural feature of the ecore . I will not be generating any Java code from my grammar.

Does xtext provide content assist support for external ecore where i can get the EClass name and EStructural name for my name rule configuration.

Please refer the below model

Hi,

what xtext does when you drop the ecore: the ecore is read as model und put into the Xtext index and thus is
referenceable from the .mydsl file.

SO if you dont want to drop the .ecore file what is the criteria to find it?
when is the ecore file created. and how should it be updated?
where should xtext look for it?

btw i was talking about the java code for the ecore.

Only if the Model project is a java Project.
Or you do the scoping yourself
(load the ecore reflective or via its java package)

=> write a scope method for the class too (scope_Model_theEClass)
