[Texo] Programmatically generate POJOs in a standalone project [message #908786] Thu, 06 September 2012 02:05 Go to next message

Hello everyone,

First of all I know that there are already some threads handling this topic:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/351255/
and
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/169019/

Since they're from 2009 I'm not sure if they're up-to-date.

Following scenario:

My goal is to create a standalone project, which accepts models (ecore, XMI, whatever) and generate the (hibernate) persistence artifacts programmatically. The only problem I can see is generating the POJOs out of the eclipse IDE. Is this somehow possible? If yes, how?

I appreciate any help.

Thank you,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,
Yes these threads are still up-to-date. So you still need eclipse running and a workspace/dev project to generate pojos
(with annotations).

I wonder, how do you see your standalone project work, how will a user use your project? It would need the emf jars and
other jars probably.

Hello Martin,

First of all thanks for the reply. Shouldn't it be possible to do this as a RCP?

The project would have an interface to accept models and generate automatically at runtime the persistence artifacts for the given models. Actually it's supposed to be only one step of a bigger use case.

That's why I'm actually trying to merge your RCP example project together with the org.eclipse.emf.texo.modelgenerator.test project and making it run outside of eclipse.

Kind Regards,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,
Yes that's for sure possible, with a rcp you can have a workspace and a dev project available. So indeed your approach
looks quite achievable to me.

Hi Benjamin,
And as a extra remark :-), I am interested to see/follow what you are doing/trying to accomplish. So feel free to
share/update me on your results, also if I need/can test something or answer other questions let me know.

Hi Martin,

As you mentioned it should have worked that way, but actually Teneor + Hibernate Tools seems to be an (better/)easier approach here.

Your example projects helped a lot to achieve that goal. With Teneor and Hibernate it is pretty simple to create a runnable java application (outside the eclipse IDE) which reads an Ecore Model and generates persistence artifacts out of it.

Actually I prefer Texo over Teneor, but doing the same thing with Texo seems to be a bit more complicated right now. Wink


Thanks for the help!
Benjamin
