All,

I have a code generator that generates ~60 files (out of overall ~200) for a rather complex SW baseline. In order to keep track of the changes I tend to make all files write protected before starting to make major changes. Now when the generators run I need to change the access rights of the files (only the ones that are overwritten) to right access.

Is there a simple way to do this from within the code generator. i.e. just before the [file ('XYZ',....)/] I want to check if the file exists, check the access right and if it is write protected change that.

Hi,

This is done for you if you change the generation strategy used by Acceleo for your generator. In the generated Java class, override getGenerationStrategy and change its implementation to "return new WorkspaceAwareStrategy()". Do take note that this strategy cannot be used in standalone.

You can also create your own strategy in order to make one that checks for access rights of java.io.Files : the strategy is the entry point for such use cases.
