Create standalone for Eclipse application. [message #1726382]

We have an EMF editor that generates models from an Ecore metamodel, and an Acceleo template that generates web code from said model.

We can run them using the usual procedure (Right click > Run as > Eclipse/Acceleo application), but we would like to know how to bundle them together into a standalone application or plugin.

Can anyone help us with this?

It's not clear what you mean by standalone. Typically when we use this
term we mean to run it not as an Eclipse application, i.e., not in an
OSGi container. Perhaps you're more aiming to build an
org.eclipse.equinox.app.IApplication that can run from the command line,
but still runs in an OSGi container, right?

Hi Ed, thanks for the reply, and sorry for the confusion.

What we're looking to do is have our GMF editor launch without the need of loading the projects and running them as a separate Eclipse application. Kind of like WebRatio.

That sounds like a question best asked on the Acceleo forum.
