Hi Jay, good to hear about your successes!
and yes, to write the given format you may want to use Xtext’s serializer. It takes an EMF model as input and outputs it as text that fully conforms to your grammar. You can invoke it via org.eclipse.xtext.resource.XtextResource#save(…) or org.eclipse.xtext.serializer.ISerializer If you want to generate text in a format that you don’t have a grammar for, Xtend is an excellent language to implement a mode-to-text transformation aka code generator. regards, Moritz > On 10 Aug 2016, at 17:08, Jay Jay Billings <[email protected]> wrote: > > Everyone, > > We have had some really great success deploying xtext for processing 3D > geometry formats in Eclipse ICE, which is work that Kasper Gammeltoft did > over the summer.
