Re: [emft-dev] [EMFatic] Alignment with OCLinEcore
|
Hi Ed,
cool that you're implementing OCL in Xtext. We have similar plans for
EMFatic.
We're working on a base language for Xtext (called Xbase) which allows
people to create new languages which extends and reused
parts (or everything) of it. We want to implement an EMFatic editor
based on it.
Regards,
Sven

Hi
Failure to obtain permission to bundle IMP Runtime for use by the
MDT/OCL Examples editors forces a change of a approach. Fortunately
Xtext provides a very attractive solution.
Support for the new EMF validation/setting/invocation delegates with
OCL implementations requires an editor for Ecore files with embedded
OCL expressions. MDT/OCL will therefore be developing (targetted at
M7) an Xtext EssentialOCL.xtext that can be reused to support OCL
document editing by a CompleteOCL.xtext and embedded OCLinEcore
editing by OCLinEcore.xtext. EssentialOCL.xtext should also be re-
useable by QVTr.xtext and QVTc.xtext.
Xtext would appear to make supporting simple structural languages
such as EMFatic trivial.
It would appear that EMFatic and OCLinEcore will be so similar that
it would be good to try to make them identical from a user's
perspective and perhaps share any relevant customisations/quick
fixes/validations/code templates.
