Has anybody fully implemented an XText editor in an IViewPart

Question

Basically I need to implement a full XText editor in an IViewPart. I have most of it working based on the XText Forms Integration project. Unfortunately, this is not a full implementation on an XText editor, and I wondered if anybody are aware of better starting points.. or even complete implementations :-)

What parts are missing to make the Xtext Froms Integration a full implementation? — Sebastian Zarnekow, Jul 06 '11 at 19:32
@Sebastian (I'm on vacation right now, but of the top of my head..) Line numbers, integration with CMS — Tonny Madsen, Jul 06 '11 at 20:29
Any news on that front? Is there a full implementation available somewhere? Thanks — Tobias, Jan 06 '12 at 14:42
I have added some of the missing parts to my implementation. Though, my guess is that with Xtext 2, I probably have the re-implement a larger part of the code again. — Tonny Madsen, Jan 08 '12 at 07:39

It is possible since 2.2 (see this thread). This code worked for me:

IEditedResourceProvider resourceProvider = new IEditedResourceProvider() {

        @Override
        public XtextResource createResource() {
            try {
                MyDslQueryStandaloneSetup.doSetup();
                ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
                Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createURI("somefile.MyDsl"));

                return (XtextResource) resource;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                return null;
            }
        }
    };

    MyDslActivator activator = MyDslActivator.getInstance();
    Injector injector = activator
            .getInjector(MyDslActivator.QUERYNAME);
    EmbeddedEditorFactory factory = injector.getInstance(EmbeddedEditorFactory.class);
    handle = factory.newEditor(resourceProvider).withParent(
            parent);

    // keep the partialEditor as instance var to read / write the edited text
    partialEditor = handle.createPartialEditor(true);

I have the same problem, and I just find this project: http://xrepl.org/

They create a custom console command, so I think is a step closer to what we need... :)
