Hi,

I am trying to use JMerge without much success.

Is there any documentation or tutorial on using JMerge for me to have a
look at?

I have read the Jet Tutorial Part 2, but it is not helping much.

Does JMerge have to be run as a eclipse headless application?

Thanks
Pieter

There is not much JMerge documentation out there.

If you're using JMerge in JET templates, it is pretty straight forward. You
do the following:

1) Place a <java:merge/> tag somewhere in the template generating a java
class

2) In the template, any Java element (class, method, field, ...) that you
want to be updated by JMerge, add a @generated tag in the element's Java
doc.

I've created some JMerge FAQ entries with more details:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2T-JET-FAQ#User_Specific_Code


If you're interested in creating JMerge rules yourself, you are in for a
more challenging experience. The best I know of is an IBM developerWorks
article:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-ecemf3/

But, it does not really cover the topic is sufficient detail. I have an FAQ
entry on creating rules, but I haven't filled it out yet.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

I have been using Jet1, with the generate(Object o) method.

Is this still possible with Jet2 or does the input have to be an xml
file. If not, is it possible to use JMerge with Jet1?

Thanks
Pieter

Pieter:

JMerge is JET2 is via the java:merge tag.

For JMerge in JET1, the APIs org.eclipse.emf.codegen.merge are still there
for your use.
