First, create a java project, choose a name, and click finish. Add the SpeADL Nature to the project : right click on the project / Configure / Add SpeADL Nature.

This is necessary to benefit from MAY source code generation.

Create a folder main in the src folder, and then create a folder java in the main folder (Maven convention)

Then, create a new file with the speadl extension within the java folder. Eclipse will ask you if you want to add Xtext nature to the project, click yes.
