    v1 v1  
     1FeatureList xText EBNF new version: 
     2 
     3-Core Features: 
     4        -BNF front-end (Parser, Lexer, Linker, etc.) - translates a textual representation into an Ecore model 
     5                -the editor   
     6        - Editor - provides IDE features, e.g. auto-completion, syntax highlighting, etc. 
     7         
     8-Validation Rules: these rules will give warnings in the editor if they find find consistencies in the code 
     9 
     10        -checkUpdateGrammarConsistency: checks, if the grammar is an updated grammar, for consistencies between the originals and the new grammar 
     11                e.g.: 
     12                status: not migrated 
     13                 
     14        -CheckReferencedOnlyOnce: this should warn if there is a rule that is only referenced once, this is an inlining hint 
     15                e.g.: 
     16                status: migrated 
     17                 
     18        -checkPassthroughRule: 
     19                e.g.:this tests if a rule gets just passed through 
     20                        a ::= b 
     21                        b ::= "literal" 
     22                        <=> a ::= "literal" , which is better for EBNF 
     23                         
     24        -checkEqualAlternative: this tests if a rule got equal alternatives 
     25                e.g.: 
     26                        a::= d | d 
     27                status: still some problems 
     28                 
     29        -checkDuplicateRules: checks if there is another rule in the EtsiBnf, that got the same behaviour 
     30                e.g.: 
     31                        a ::= "literal" | b 
     32                        c ::= "literal" | b 
     33                status: migrated 
     34                 
     35        -checkSubruleDuplicates: 
     36                 
     37                status: not migrated 
     38                 
     39        -check unused rule: it checks if a rule is used (exept for the rule with the number 1) 
     40         
     41                status: migrated 
     42                 
     43        -checkNameIsUnique: checks if the nam of a rule is already in use 
     44                e.g.: 
     45                        a ::= "end" 
     46                        a ::= "fin" 
     47         
     48                status: migrated 
     49                 
     50-Generation: 
     51        -basic generation has been achieved but the output-format is unclear. Works with a Xtend-generator, momentary "xmi-like" output for a bnf grammar 
     52        -old version had: mwe2 Generator and Xpand2 support 
     53                - it could generate mergeGrammars from CoreGrammars and CompositeGrammars from Merge grammars 
     54                -seemingly it could produce a xsl-fo-file with the corresponding nodemodel 
     55                 
     56        -new version: xsl-fo file for all bnf grammars (not for merge or deltagrammars) this can be Rendered to Pdf using apache-fop 
     57         
     58-Formatting: 
     59        -old:   had some but they are got commented out in the main project 
     60                         
     61        -new:   Line-break after every rule, white-spaces after all literals, linebreak and double tab after all >|< bars 
     62                        -still got some Problems with rulereferences at the end of a definitionlist 
     63 
     64-Refactoring & Quickfixing: 
     65        old had: 
     66        -auto Numbering of rules 
     67                -not migrated 
     68        -remove unused rules 
     69                -not migrated 
     70         
     71        -replacement of passthroughRules 
     72                -not migrated 
     73        -refactor uppercasetokenRules 
     74                -not migrated 
     75                 
     76        -find references, this one is standard in xtext2.* 
     77        -renaming, this is standard in xtext2.* 
     78         
     79-Grammar composition: 
     80        -3 grammartypes: 
     81                grammar: normal grammar 
     82                deltagrammar:   different notation for a extension grammar, 
     83                                                adds new rules to a grammar (regular rules)and  
     84                                                adds changes to rules of the extended grammar(extension rules) 
     85                                                -can be automaticly created 
     86                mergegrammar:   for merging extensions 
     87        -old version had an automatic composition Process, for merge grammars, with a small pop-up-menu. 
     88 
     89        - at the moment no support in the new version 
     90         
     91 
     92-Deploying: 
     93        -export project: Plug-in Development/deployable plug-ins and fragments 
     94        -rcp project with a minimal eclipse editor
