[Texo] texo template files in external plugin [message #1000263]

Hi there,

first of all thanks for all the support you are putting in texo.

We have an our eclipse plugin where we are extending some of the (nice) features of texo providing a way to integrate our EMF-models with our custom annotations.

We are looking for integrate texo templates inside our plugin: so users will not have to worry about location of texo templates (for instance). But looking on texo source code it seems that is not possible to locate texo template in the plugin.

TexoResourceManager.getTemplateFolderPath returns template location but it is possible to overwrite this mechanism in order to look for template files inside our plugin ?

Thanks

Hi Emanuele,
Not directly possible now, but it for sure seems an interesting thing to support. How would a path/url to these template
look like?
And how do you generate code, you call the code generator yourselve from a plugin (so programmatically), or do you use
the standard Texo menus?

Thanks for the quick response !

We would like to put templates files in a source folder of our plugin.
I think something like this:

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("com/myplugin/templates/mytemplate.xpt")

could do the job.

We are also calling code generation programmatically. But I think it could be great to support both: standard texo menu and "custom" call.

Thanks again,
Emanuele

Hi Emanuele,
Can you enter a bugzilla for this? I am not sure if it has the highest priority. If you contribute some code that would
help ofcourse :-).

If you generate code programmatically then you can tell Texo to use your specific TexoResourceManager. The
TexoResourceManager is a TexoComponent and can be replaced by your own implementation:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Texo/Components

In the artifactgenerator it can be set explicitly also.

This would be a solution for you?

Hi Martin,

We are using a custom implementation of TexoResourceManager and it is working like a charm ! It is a perfect solution, thanks.
