[stringtemplate-interest] Re : Visual Studio 2010 support for ST4 template editing

[Matthieu Wipliez]

As a matter of fact, a colleague and I have made an Xtext-based editor for ST4 (requires Eclipse 3.7), available here: http://sourceforge.net/p/hastee/

The grammar is a bit hackish (we do everything with a single lexer + parser) and not complete yet, and the editor is still in an early version (0.2.0), but we already use it to edit the templates in our tools.
In the future I intend to rewrite the grammar and use a custom lexer (to allow other separators than < and >).

One of the nice feature the editor has is that it solves implicit references to attributes. This is by definition limited, because scoping is dynamic in ST, but we have found that it is quite helpful when writing templates.
One thing we would like to do is autocomplete of properties based on an annotation that specifies the class of the input model.

Cheers
Matthieu
