eclipse - Xtext and GMF integration -
first of all, have seen many links on stackoverflow of integrating xtext gmf.
the consistent tutorial i've seen far was: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/472225/1036564/#msg_1036564
..but not generate textual editor in final step (only gmf editor).
i saw documentation, can not understand suggest in link: http://www.eclipse.org/xtext/documentation.html#gmf_integration
so wonder if knows how integrate gmf xtext existing ecore! use xtext 2.0.4.
thank you!
depending on how fixed on using gmf, may want @ graphiti (built on gef).
graphiti eclipse-based graphics framework enables rapid development of state-of-the-art diagram editors domain models. graphiti can use emf-based domain models can deal java-based objects on domain side well.
there eclipse labs project creation of graphiti editors using xtext dsl, called spray.
this project aims provide 1 or more domain specific languages (dsl) describe visual dsl editors against graphiti runtime, , provide code generation create boilerplate code realizing implementation against graphiti framework. potentially spray dsl can used generate code other frameworks well.
you can import dsl ecore model spray, , using references dsl's types create graphical editor relatively little boilerplate. presentation @ codegen 2012 (spraycodegeneration2012.pdf on google code link above) highlights of spray's features.
