I have a DSL (implemented with ANTLR) for which I need to write a content assist/autocomplete editor. I’ve ported a prototype of my grammar to Xtext, and I’m quite happy with the quality of the editor it generates.

Unfortunately, I cannot use Eclipse as my editor. Instead, I’d like use the Xtext grammar to generate some artifacts that I could reuse outside of Eclipse. From what I’ve seen, the minimum set of artifacts I need are:

  • the EMF models,
  • the parsers,
  • the *ProposalProviders, and
  • the required libraries.

Has anyone tried to use Xtext outside of Eclipse? How many external libraries does it depend on?

Thanks!

    for the backend part (parser / serializer / formatter / metamodel etc) this is not problem and it will require about 30 libaries / 17MB. the ui part requires eclipse.

    you can use the export -> runnable jar file wizard to get all dependent libs you need
