Hello,

Can we generate the output files to some other folders (e.g., Desktop)!!! I have tried but it interprets whatever path I give as a relative path to the project folder!

In the Run method in the ui, I ask for a path from the user (browse button), if the path is given then it should be generated in the given folder. The thing is that it needs IContainer to be returned. Obviously the model.getProject().getFolder(outAbspath) will return the container relative within the project but I don't know if there is any way to set the IContainer from an absolute path.

IPath outAbspath = new Path(outUserSelectedPath);
IContainer container = model.getProject().getFolder(outAbspath);
return container;


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Parsa

Hi

I presume you are asking about Acceleo, which has some pragmatic treatment of files/URIs so I cannot answer precisely.

Normally with EMF and models you would use something like platform:/resource/... or file:/... and it would work. You would certainly have nothing to do with the IResource classes.

I suggest you look at the way other tools create their output files. resourceSet.getURIConverter().... gives you a useful helper for file access.

Regards
