I would actually like to see some kind of include feature, that tells the compiler how to pull it all together etc, from the DRL.
We have an idea to do something like this extending DSLs, so all the DRL needs is a name to point it to the DSL (or similar file) that ties it all together with the other files. We will need something like this more and more I believe. Its trivial to do it in code yourself of course.... the challenge is for the IDE to do it when it does the building for you (as it has to work out from the DRL what it needs to parse and compile). As always open to ideas... probably several solutions. And as mark says, XML support is now available (and its not XML->DRL, is actually XML->AST via a Sax parser). Michael.
