Debugging coffee-editor model server

[glsp-bot]

What I'm really trying to do is create a coffee-editor development environment to help me analyze and ultimately understand the codebase. I have the backend in Eclipse with the correct target and so far so good. The instructions on the coffee-editor github site say, to debug the coffee model server, use the 'org.eclipse.emfcloud.coffee.modelserver.CoffeeModelServerLauncher class to start the Model Server.' Are these instructions still current? I can't find the referenced launcher class.

Hi @GaryKopp(garykopp) ,
thank you for the interest in the Coffee Editor example.
You are right the README is unfortunately outdated, I will update it today.
In the meantime:
In order to debug you can use the eclipse product definitions in org.eclipse.emfcloud.coffee.product. For the modelserver use modelserver.product from there.

Best,
Eugen

Thank you. That makes sense. I figured it had to eventually point to Application, but I missed the connection at first.

This PR might also be interesting for you. It shows how to add a new model element to the coffee editor:
