Compile and Build Xpect by Yourself

Prerequisite: Java 11 or newer; Eclipse (2023-03 or newer recommended); Xtext 2.31.0.

1. Clone https://github.com/eclipse/Xpect (this repository)
2. Import all projects into your Eclipse workspace.
3. Set target platform to /org.eclipse.xpect.releng/target-platforms/eclipse_2023_03-xtext_2_31_0/org.eclipse.xpect.target.eclipse_2023_03-xtext_2_31_0.target (Preferences -> Plug-in Development -> Target Platform)
4. Run /org.eclipse.xpect/src/org/eclipse/xpect/GenerateXpect.mwe2, /org.xtext.example.arithmetics/src/org/eclipse/xpect/example/arithmetics/GenerateXpect.mwe2, /org.xtext.example.domainmodel/src/org/xtext/example/domainmodel/GenerateDomainmodel.mwe2. Now your projects should be without errors markers. Sometimes, even after these steps, several projects still have error markers. However, this is a refresh problem in Eclipse. Simply clean build the projects with error markers will solve the issues.
5. Run mvn -P '!tests' -Dtarget-platform=eclipse_2023_03-xtext_2_31_0 --batch-mode --update-snapshots -fae -Dmaven.repo.local=xpect-local-maven-repository -DtestOnly=false clean install to build artefacts and create a p2 repository (formerly known as update site).
