Hi Sven,

So, are you saying: if I have some Xtext 1.0 plug-ins and
I want to run them in an eclipse installation that has
Xtext 2.0 installed, it will not work?

Why did you decide against using a new namespace for Xtext 2.0?
In that case Xtext 1.0 and Xtext 2.0 based plug-ins could co-exist.

With the incompatible versions, either *all* Xtext based languages
have to run with 1.0 OR with 2.0! No mixing possible...
