I previously posted this on the Bitbucket tracker. Sorry for the duplicate, I'm not sure if it belongs here or there...

Using the Indigo J2EE distribution, I installed Xtext from the Xtext update site, then this plugin from your update site following the installation instructions. I added the Xtext nature to my project when asked by the IDE. I have installed Node.js and CoffeeScript, the CoffeeScript command line is working.

The editor is associated with .coffee files and opens them. However:

  • there is no syntax highlighting except for keywords like 'class', 'extends' etc.
  • parsing doesn't work, I get lots of warnings and errors about references not resolved and 'no viable alternative at input'. A simple script like the one from issue #4 is enough to reproduce this.
  • nothing is compiled even though the compiler is turned on in the preferences (using the default settings). There is no CoffeeScript builder or similar under 'Builders'.

I tried this with Xtext 2.2 (the current version) and 2.1, each time with all update site sub-elements, same result. Is there anything else that I need to install?
Later I tried downloading the Xtext Eclipse Indigo distribution from xtext.itemis.com (eclipse-SDK-3.7.1-Xtext-2.2.1-win32.zip) to see if it's an Xtext issue. Same result.
Do you have any ideas what I might be missing?
