Hi all,

From a Simple.mydsl file, I generate some Java classes using a custom JvmModelInferrer. The project A that contains my DSL files is an Eclipse plugin that exports the Java packages generated in src-gen/.

Now, I want to use these generated classes in some other project B.

The situation is as follows:

(1) If I create a new Java project B in the same Eclipse instance and put A either as a plugin dependency or as a buildpath "Required project" dependency, everything's ok. I see the generated classes and method autocompletion on them works in both Xtend and Java files.

(2) If I run a new Eclipse instance (with A included) and create a new Java project B with A as a plugin dependency, new Java files can access the types and autocomplete methods, whereas new Xtend files can import the type, but they see no methods (no autocompletion, and error if manually written)!

I guess this as something to do with the exported EObjectDescriptions, or the way Xtend directly communicate with a model of the Jvm rather than the actual generated classes?

Thanks for you help,

Cioran

Sharing my Xtext projet is a bit complicated, but you can have a look at http://github.com/diverse-project/melange for the sources.

DslProject.tar.gz contains an Eclipse project with a DSL file (.melange) and the generated classes in src/gen.

TestSameInstance.tar.gz is a project that tries to import the generated classes. Try to import it in the same instance as DslProject: it works. Try to import it in a new instance: Xtend file doesn't compile.

Of course, if I manually move the packages in src-gen/ to a new Java Project, I can import the new project in a new Eclipse instance and everything works.

Also, this may be related to the fact that, although the import statement works in Xtend files, if I ctrl+click on it, Eclipse tries to run an Editor for my DSL, and not a Java editor (because of the IJvmModelAssociator I guess). Unfortunately, editor fails with: "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Couldn't create EMF Resource for input org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.InternalClassFileEditorInput@9122e6e6").

I will investigate a bit with simpler examples and file a bug if it is confirmed.

Hi,

today we had found exactly the same problem in VIATRA, and found that it could be fixed by adding a binding to the UI module of our language: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/75854/

I hope, this will be helpful; I have also opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=496665 to ask for adding this binding by default.

Best regards,
Zoltán
