@Simon, the post is outdated. The builder infrastructure in Xtext 1.0 is different. Please consult the documentaion or use the forum/newsgroup to ask any questions.

Hi Sven,

could you help me to find the extension point org.eclipse.emf.index.indexer? What plugin do I need to import?

Kind regards,

Simon

@Frank,

you could simply register a resource indexer for your meta model, or even a generic one for all kinds of EMF resources.

Hi Sven

This looks very interesting. However, what if I wanted to make elements in an existing EMF model instance (XMI file) available in the context assist, instead of Xtext elements in an Xtext grammar file? These EMF model instances would be instances of a meta model which contains all of the same elements as in the ecore file generated (thus the Xtext grammar only covers a subset of the other meta model's elements).

Do I simply need to add something like the indexer declaration in your post to the plugin.xml, but change the fileextensions attribute to "xmi"? Is there a specialised indexer available for XMI files?

Thanks
Frank

Did you enable the EMF Index nature (find that action in the context menu of your project)?
Integration of index will become a major focus in the upcoming development. Note that this is just a demo.

Hi,

I downloaded your example. The newest Xtext is installed but it doesn't reference the external datatypes (Couldn't resolve reference to datatype String). However references to variables inside the same document can be resolved. I tried to debug the code but emf makes this a pain. Do you have any hint for me?

Thanks,
Roland

Hi.
I downloaded and imported your project but references to external objects can't be found. ("Couldn't resolve reference to Type String"). References to datatypes inside the same document are resolved. I installed the newest version of xtext (0.7.1). Is there anything i forgot?

No sound. Sorry.
I commented the screencast during the webinar. So you might want to watch that instead : http://live.eclipse.org/node/705

I tried to listen to you screencast, but couldn't hear a sound. Only picture. Is there no sound? Do I need a special codec? I used QuickTime on Windows XP.

Thanks,
