As a final feature, we add the mechanism for invoking the implementation of a method in the superclass using the keyword super.

Following the practice "loose grammar, strict validation", we do not impose this at the grammar level. Thus, we add the rule for super as a terminal expression:

SJTerminalExpression returns SJExpression:
   ...
   {SJSuper} 'super' | ...

We add a validator rule that checks the correct super usage:

public static val WRONG_SUPER_USAGE =
  ISSUE_CODE_PREFIX + "WrongSuperUsage"

@Check def void checkSuper(SJSuper s) {
  if (s.eContainingFeature !=
        SmallJavaPackage.eINSTANCE.SJMemberSelection_Receiver)
    error("'super' can be used only as member selection receiver",
      null, WRONG_SUPER_USAGE)
}
