[Acceleo] EMTL files not contained in build [message #986042] Sat, 17 November 2012 19:58 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi all,

don't know why this just started to fail (worked for several weeks without
problems) but from one day to another the build of the EMTL files, or more
precisely the export into my bundle via an update site, does not work
anymore. Well, not exactly from one day to another, I did refactor the
packages and the project name.

However, the Acceleo builder is active, the nature is set and the code
generation runs from within the started instance of my dev environment. The
EMTL files are not exported, neither by using an update site nor by using
"deployable plugins an fragments".

Funny things is that I created a new Acceleo project from scratch with the
same settings, and the EMTL files are generated properly for the newly
created project. I'm pretty sure the incorrect behavior must be related to
my refactorings and I'm hoping for some hints from you guys.

I'm using acceleo 3.2.0 with Indigo.

Any ideas?

Hi

Don't use 3.2; it has a variety of builder issues, that make it
unuseable for me.

3.3 is much better, but even then particularly after a GIT branch change
it will fail to build EMTL's, but these appear after a trivial *.mtl edit.

Hi Ed,

thanks for your prompt response. Just tried with Acceleo 3.3.1, but with the
same - i.e. no at all - success. The EMTL files are still not generated.
Wow, that gives me really a headache.

Any further hints?

Regards,
Marc-Florian

Hi

For the Eclipse OCL distribution for which deployment on a Hudson server
gives additional difficulties, I redesignate *.emtl files as sources in
a src2 folder.

Building is then trivial; for an Acceleo-less configuration the Java
builder just copies src2/.../*.emtl to bin/.../*.emtl. Job done.

During development, I add the Acceleo nature, remove src2 from the
classpath and uncomment
#customBuildCallbacks = build.acceleo
in build.properties.

Once a development phase is finished; diff src2/.../*.emtl and
bin/.../*.emtl, update and commit to your CMS.

See GIT\org.eclipse.ocl\examples\org.eclipse.ocl.examples.codegen\src2.

Regards

Hi,

I would recommend you to use the maven build: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Acceleo/Maven
It is easier to maintain and there are tons of working examples available.

If you want to stick with the PDE solution, have a look at the changes to the build.acceleo files. It contains the description of what should be build during the PDE build. Make sure you are not missing the "customBuildCallbacks = build.acceleo" in the build.properties.


Regards,

Stephane Begaudeau, Obeo
