Description Ed Willink CLA 2020-09-26 04:31:33 EDT 
Bug 564265 proposed a fully declarative formatter to avoid the Xtend deprecations aassociated with the 'new infrastructure'. This has now been developed and is currently available as four plugins:

org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.serializer
- the runtime metadata-driven serialization support
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.idioms
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.idioms.ui
- the Idioms DSL model and its editor 
org.eclipse.ocl.examples.xtext.build
- build support for the DSL editor
- fragments and analysis to auto-generate the serialization/formatter metadata

on branch ewillink/563046 of the org.eclipse.ocl GIT.

For now, this bug hosts comments on
-ensuring that the above plugins are independent of all other OCL plugins
-evolving to be more compatible with Xtext project practices

The new Declarative Serializer/Formatter forms part of the contribution for the OCL and QVTd editors for 2020-12 M3.

But was reverted for RC2. I spent too much time after M3 on the advanced problem of Xtext's eccentric cyclic rules rather than the mundane details of polishing the basic OCL/QVTd support.

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564265#c22

This looks like it will require unjustified commitments.
