an example of xtextcelleditor

Hi,

I was thinking of having a feature in Sirius description that can set label edit parts and node names become xtext aware, i,e, using the styling and functionality of the corresponding XText DSL grammar. I think it is not quite clear that how to to do that on Sirius and which extension points should be used. In this article http://muelder.blogspot.ca/2011/04/xtext-celleditor-integration.html ,Andreas says that it is straight forward. However, I've been trying for weeks and couldn't make it happen. So, I believe this is a feature that can bring Sirius on top of other tools and brings a huge competitive advantage to it. It is actually very good when you have transitions and you want to use constraint self-defined language to make sure the user does not go wrong! 

Note that the Sirius-Xtext-Integration that is on https://github.com/ObeoNetwork/Xtext-Sirius-integration is not a Cell Editor. It actually acts as a popup.

Thanks,
Bests,
