Hi @all,

is it possible to use the generated DSL editor as a standalone
application (without Eclipse)?

Thanks,
ILyas

Hi Ilyas,

you could use the message with the subject "[XText] a standalone Java
application that parses text to model"

Good luck

Hi mN,

thanks for your reply.

If I understood the example correctly, one can parse with XtextResource
a resource and get the parse result. OK, but XtextResource doesn't offer
methods to run/start the editor? Any ideas?

Hi Ilyas,

Xtext creates Eclipse plugins. What do you mean with "editor without
Eclipse"? You may want to use the runtime part in standalone mode and
create all the ui infrastructure yourself. It is easier to provide a
minimal Eclipse distro (with Eclipse - whatever that means) that
contains the editor plugin.

Regards,
Sebastian

Sebastian,

I remember that the GMF generator somewhere has en option to generate a
standalone editor. The result is a downsized Eclipse application with
only the GMF plugin available. People using this standalone version can
only create and edit model files of this DSL and nothing else.

This is useful if your DSL is used by non programmers and you don't want
to expose all of Eclipse to them, but a sim0plified environment instead.

Hi Sebastian & Jos,

thanks for your answers. My question was about an application which only
shows the generated Xtext editor. You can then give this tool to users
of your DSL (yes, non programmers) to provide a nice editor for model
editing.

If I use a minimal Eclipse distro is it possible to show only the editor
and hide everything else? With "everything else" I mean other views and
windows of Eclipse like Project Explorer or Console...

Regards,
ILyas

Hi Ilyas,

yes thats possible. You can remove almost anything from Eclipse (with
respect to the dependencies of the Editor).
There are various tutorials about pde development and product packaging
out there - I think google will be your friend :-).

Regards,
Sebastian
