[Acceleo] Create Standalone application [message #909092]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a standalone application with acceleo. When running acceleo in eclipse everything works fine. But as soon as I try to export my project as a "runnable jar" file the applications crashes with the well known error ".emtl" not found. It seems that the export command does not pack the .emtl-files inside the jar??

However, now I'm trying to create my jar file with an ant-script. This seems to work fine. I just need to overwrite the method

 @Override
    protected URI createTemplateURI(String entry) {    	
    	return URI.createURI(URI.decode(entry));
    }

to tell acceleo to load the .emtl-files from inside the jar file. The execution fails with the error message "org.eclipse.acceleo.engine.AcceleoEvaluationException: Error while resolving module dependencies". Okay. Fine. Acceleo doesn't seem to like One-Jar-Applications. So my quenstion is: What is the best way to deploy an acceleo code generator as a standalone application?

Hi,

You shouldn't have to do anything special, if you look at this test of ours, you should find everything you need: https://github.com/eclipse/acceleo/tree/master/tests/org.eclipse.acceleo.standalone.generators.tests
We have a stand alone generator in the "generators" folder, the dependencies in the "lib" folder and we launch it with this class: https://github.com/eclipse/acceleo/blob/master/tests/org.eclipse.acceleo.standalone.generators.tests/src/org/eclipse/acceleo/standalone/generators/tests/GeneratorsTest.java
