Set line endings for code generated by xtend-maven-plugin [message #1796567]

I am using the xtend-maven-plugin to generate code.

On my Windows machine, the generated files all have CRLF line endings.
I would like to generate them with LF line endings.

Is it possible to enforce this?

I haven't been able to set the line separator via the command line. When using Powershell I always get an error that the lifecycle "separator" is unknown. It probably is some kind of escaping issue, but copying & pasting from stackoverflow didn't work.

mvn -Dline.separator=$'\n' clean compile

I think it should be a config property of the plugin, and it does not have one. Please open an issue to https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-xtend/issues.

I have doubts that such a ticket will be fixed soon

I could imagine working on such (not near time though), but this also is a candidate for contribution.
