Hi,

I have noticed that xtext projects generally have 3 source folders:


  1. src/
  2. src-gen/
  3. xtend-gen/


Now, typically running the mwe2 to generate stuff, creates files in all 3 locations. Stuff in src/ is actually meant to be edited (e.g. the generated xtend file).

Is it safe to say that "src-gen" and "xtend-gen" are always overwritten (so they could be ignored and never be edited or imported into source control) but stuff under "src" should be imported and tracked?

Sorry for the very basic questions but it's the first time I'm using xtext seriously so in this case I want to set things up correctly.

Thanks

Short answer yes
*-gen is generated code

There might be reasons to track it with version
Control but often there are set to be ignored

Placing the generated code under version control or exluding them from it have both advantages and disadvantages.
