Hello!

I'm developing EMF editor and I have customized it manually, to do it
I have to modify over 30 java files, now I would want to do this customization
programmatically using only a file.

For GMF, I use EuGENia to customize editors, for EMF I know Epsilon Exeed but
It works with Reflective editors and I need to do it with Tree Editors and
I don't know any tool that let me this.

Does Anyone know a tool to customize EMF tree editor such as EuGENia for GMF?

Thanks, Regards
Álvaro

Hi Alvaro,

I'm not aware of any such tool, but I think it'd be straightforward to
follow an approach similar to what EuGENia does (i.e define some
task-specific @emf.xxx annotations) and then use an M2T language (e.g.
EGL - http://www.eclipse.org/gmt/epsilon/doc/egl/) to generate the
custom code.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

I'll develop your idea, so now I'm practising with EGL.
I want launch an EGL file which its target is the console but
I want to generate the same code to a file(output.txt).

I have seen examples that using severals EGL files to write to a file, eg.:

driver.egl:
[%
for (i in Sequence{1..10}) {
var delegate : Template;
-- Pass parameters to the template
delegate := TemplateFactory.load('delegate.egl');
delegate.populate('foo', i);
delegate.store(i+'.txt', true);
}
%]

delegate.egl:
[%=foo%]

but I would like do it using only one EGL file. It is possible?

Thanks for your help,
Álvaro

Hi Alvaro,

To store the output in a file, in the launch configuration you can
select the "Generate text to a file" option.
