Hi
IIRC, before I converted all my Acceleo templates to Xtend, I worked
around the problem by manually switching between two build behaviours.
During 'interactive' development, I let Acceleo build the *.emtl files
normally, with the occasional clean/build-all encouragement. When happy,
I copied bin/.../*.emtl to src2/..../*.emtl.
For release deployment I treated the *.emtl files as sources files, by
disabling the Acceleo builder and instead relying on the Java builder to
copy src2/..../*.emtl to bin/.../*.emtl.
Switching involved adding/removing the Acceleo nature and builder, and
adding/removing "customBuildCallbacks = build.acceleo
" in build.properties.
You can look at commit ee770a838361c879d3c24e2b024fb186872c1e45 of
https://git.eclipse.org/r/ocl/org.eclipse.ocl to see a behaviour switch
that accidentally got committed.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Currently, I'm putting manually the emtl files
in the right folder of the jar file.
When you select in the Overview of your plugin.xml to include the emtl
files into the build, please notice they are copied into /bin/<your
packages> into the jar file, instead of just /<your package> as needed
for the plugin to work.
Currently, I don't know how to provide an easier solution than doing it
manually.
Best,
Víctor

Hi
The Java classpath settings control what gets copied and to what
directories.
Properties->Java Build Path.
