my application. It looks like IMP might be helpful for developing my
parser, but I'm not so sure. The default grammar created by the New LPG
Grammar (non-IMP) generates an example lexer.gi file that cannot resolve
its reference to LexerVeryBasicMapF.gi. It is defined in the
org.eclipse.imp.lpg.metatooling_0.1.79/templates directory which is the
value of the LPG include path, so why does it generate the "could not be
read" error? Even when I copy the .gi file into the same directory as
the generated FoobarLexer.gi, it doesn't get found. The LPG preferences
let me override the include path, but I really would like to use a
relative path to my workspace or project. That doesn't seem to work either.
I'm simultaneously trying to learn LPG, so I'm sure there is a simple
solution. I would expect the generated grammar to compile without change.

I've learned is that I can use the IMP grammar editor for a non-IMP
project is mostly ok. But I should use my own external tool launcher to
invoke the lpg generator. And I should avoid using templates that rely
on the IMP infrastructure.

Hi Mike,
Sorry for the late response.
We've recently split the LPG feature in two to separate the runtime
componenents from the compile-time components. Also, we removed the
LPG templates from org.eclipse.imp.lpg.metatooling, since it turned
out that they didn't actually depend on IMP.
As for your troubles with the include path settings, can you post
more details as to where the templates files are located and what
include path you used? Naturally, this ought to work (and it does
for us).
