I copied the modules languages/aterm/syntax/* and basic/* into my Spoofax project and imported languages/aterm/syntax/ATerms into my syntax definition. Generation of parse table and signatures works fine. However, compilation fails once I start importing the generated signature. When removing the signature entries for the ATerms, everything works fine again.

Error message does not report the problem:

stratego.jvm.helper:
[java] [ Main | error ] Compilation failed (2.66 secs)

BUILD FAILED

What happens if you add --verbose 3 to build.stratego.args in build.main.xml? Could you post the log?

Thanks, but could you verbatimize it? :)

Done.

Seems like this was caused by an old version of the plugin or perhaps an old version of the webdsl plugin. We haven’t been able to reproduce it in a clean environment. Scary stuff, but closing it as cannotreproduce for now. (See Spoofax/143.)
