I am trying to create a new DSL grammar, so I have developed an ecore model and imported to the xtext grammar file, the xtext file has generated and without errors. later on I have faced mainly 3 errors:

a noisy pop up error "An error has occurred. See error log for more details. java.lang.NullPointerException"
when I try to generate the xtext artifacts, it was terminated after a lot of errors, and the errors in below

can you check your workflow. You need to have the scanClassPath = true and to register your meta-model. See the following example :

Workflow {
    bean = StandaloneSetup {
        scanClassPath = true
        platformUri = "${runtimeProject}/.."
    }

    .... 
    ....

   component = Generator {
         ....
        language = auto-inject {
            loadedResource = "platform:/resource/org.eclipse.emf.ecore/model/Ecore.genmodel"
         ....
         }
   }
