ACCELEO EDITOR is not working correctly [message #1696282]

Hello together,

we are working on a eclipse plugin which shall have the ability to generate some code.

As generation technology we decided to use ACCELEO. On simple "try and test" projects everything worked fine.

But after switching to a eclipse plugin project, the ACCELEO editor is not working any more. I have added the ACCELEO nature to the project and located the MTL file in a source folder. But the editor cannot resolve model elements, error message is "Invalid type" (which works 1:1 in standalone projects).

When starting the generation process, everything works fine and the code is generated correctly. It seems that the editor cannot resolve the model ore something like that.

Thats why i have two questions:
- Is there something like a log file for the editor to have a better understanding of the problem?
- Do you have an idea what could be the problem?

Thanks in advice and regards,
Martin

Hi,

I don't know why the Acceleo editor would behave in a different manner in your use case but I am not sure of the architecture of your configuration (But after switching to a eclipse plugin project, the ACCELEO editor is not working any more). Could you attach a sample project and a metamodel showing the issue to this discussion?

As for your questions:
1- The whole Acceleo project uses the standard Eclipse logging mechanism, you could open the error log view to see if Acceleo has any error to report
2- The class path of your project could be missing some dependencies to your metamodels, it's difficult to say

Hi,
Notice that .emtl (the compiled version of the .mtl) is no copied when
exporting the plugin project (I guess it's a bug) and you have to put it
into the plugin jar file manually, so maybe since you switched to a
plugin, that might be your problem.

Best,

Víctor

If you want to build your plugin, use the maven plugin for Acceleo.
