Hello everybody,

do you know of any project that integrates a textual editor with syntax
highlighting, error support and code completion into GMF?

Background:
I am building a DSL that contains a sublanguage for expressions. I don't
want to have a graphical editor for the expressions but a textual editor
that hovers up when I click on an expression object in the GMF-generated
graphical editor. When saving the diagram file, the expression should be
parsed and appropriate model elements should be generated so that the
expression is visible in the generic EMF-tree editor both as plain
string value and also as parsed model elements.

Solution proposal:
I thought about integrating xText from openArchitectureWare into GMF.

This seems to be a non-trivial task, so I thought I ask for existing
solutions before beginning ;)

Best regards
Daniel Sadilek
