Hi all,

Consider this example DSL code:

logger base.MyClass {
log method base.MyClass.foo();
}

I understand that it is possible to use Xbase for referring to an existing Java class, i.e., by using JvmTypeReference. So the user enjoys auto-completion for the class' name, and static checking.

Is there a similar way for referring to an existing Java method defined elsewhere in the class path (e.g., base.MyClass.foo)? My experience shows that JvmTypeReference allows to refer only to class level types and not to methods.

Thanks!
Oren

Hi i think using that syntax it will be hard (ambiguity)
but what about something like (quick and dirty)

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.Xbase

import "http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/common/JavaVMTypes" as types

generate myDsl "http://www.xtext.org/example/mydsl/MyDsl"

Model:
	ref=JvmTypeReference "::" op=[types::JvmOperation];


public class MyDslScopeProvider extends XbaseScopeProvider {

	public IScope getScope(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject context, EReference reference) {
		if (reference == MyDslPackage.Literals.MODEL__OP && context instanceof Model) {
			return scope_Model_op((Model) context, reference);
		}
		return super.getScope(context, reference);
	};

	IScope scope_Model_op(Model ctx, EReference ref) {
		if (ctx.getRef().getType() instanceof JvmDeclaredType) {
			Iterable<JvmOperation> declaredOperations = ((JvmDeclaredType)ctx.getRef().getType()).getDeclaredOperations();
			return Scopes.scopeFor(declaredOperations,
					
					new Function<JvmOperation, QualifiedName>() {
					public QualifiedName apply(JvmOperation op) {
						return QualifiedName.create(op.getSimpleName());
					}
				
					}, IScope.NULLSCOPE);
		}
		return IScope.NULLSCOPE;
	}
	
}
