Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) often consist of general constructs alongside domain-specific ones. A prominent example is a state machine consisting of states and transitions as well as expressions and statements. Adding general concepts to a DSL is a complex and time-consuming task. We propose an approach to develop such DSLs as extensions of a General Purpose Language (GPL). We believe that this approach significantly reduces development times. This is especially important in the first phases of DSL development when language constructs are evolving and not well conceived. Our development allows trying out different forms of constructs with an editor to be at hand at all times. The paper presents first results of the implementation of our approach on top of Eclipse. The feasibility is shown by applying it to the definition of state machines as an example DSL.
