[acceleo] standalone, no emtl found [message #901173]

Hi,

I suppose this must be a beginners issue.

I created a M2T transformation and need to execute it outside eclipse. What I did was (after testing the transformation inside eclipse), use eclipse's export functionality to create a runnable jar. Attempts to execute it lead to:

java.io.IOException: '/foo/bar2baz/generator/common/bar2baz.emtl' not found
        at org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.service.AbstractAcceleoGenerator.initialize(AbstractAcceleoGenerator.java:450)
        at foo.bar2baz.generator.common.bar2baz.<init>(bar2baz.java:90)
        at foo.bar2baz.generator.common.bar2baz.main(bar2baz.java:144)

Inspecting the jar learns that the emtl is not present. Adding it manually does not help either.

What is the proper (= easy and correct) way to solve this?

Greetings,
Wilbert

Hi,

There was an issue with Eclipse export functionality with Acceleo (which version of Acceleo are you using?). The proper way to build an Acceleo generator would be to use maven. You can have a look at the documentation and its two different examples. You can even look at a complex use case with a several meta-models and half a dozen generators depending one from the other. This way, you can easily integrate your generator with any continuous integration tool.

Hi Stephane,

Although I solved it earlier, and just read your reaction, I think you're right.

I solved it by having the 'export' option also generate an ant script. When I run the ant script, the emtl is included.

Thanks,
Wilbert.
