Xtext maven plugin language order [message #1802957]

Hello,

I'm working on the development of a language (B) that depends on some information generated in runtime by another language (A). So I need the generation of language A to occur before the generation of language B. I have a project that uses the xtext-maven-plugin configured with the two languages:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.eclipse.xtext</groupId>
	<artifactId>xtext-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.10.0</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>generate-dsl-sources</id>
			<phase>generate-sources</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>generate</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
	<configuration>
		<languages>
			
			<!-- Language A -->
			<language>
				<setup>com.example.AStandaloneSetup</setup>
				<outputConfigurations>
					<outputConfiguration>
						<outputDirectory>src/main/generated-sources/xtend/</outputDirectory>
					</outputConfiguration>
				</outputConfigurations>
			</language>

			<!-- Language B -->
			<language>
				<setup>com.example.BStandaloneSetup</setup>
				<outputConfigurations>
					<outputConfiguration>
						<outputDirectory>src/main/generated-sources/xtend/</outputDirectory>
					</outputConfiguration>
				</outputConfigurations>
			</language>
			
		</languages>
	</configuration>
	<!-- dependencies... -->
</plugin>

But the generation of these languages by maven is performed in random order. Is there any way to ensure that the generation of language A is executed before the generation of language B?

I assume you need to have a look at the code and or write your own version
but i fear the plugin reads all file at once.
so files generated by one dsl will never be read for the 2nd dsl
maybe you can configure the plugin twice

Hello,

You can do it as follows:

			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
				<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>add-source-hello</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>add-source</goal>
						</goals>
						<phase>prepare-package</phase>
						<configuration>
							<sources>
								<source>${project.build.outputDirectory}/generated/xtext</source>
							</sources>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.eclipse.xtext</groupId>
				<artifactId>xtext-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>generate-hello</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>generate</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<sourceRoots>
								<sourceRoot>${project.basedir}/src/main/java</sourceRoot>
								<sourceRoot>${project.basedir}/src/test/java</sourceRoot>
							</sourceRoots>
							<languages>
								<language>
									<setup>com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hellogenn.HelloGenStandaloneSetup</setup>
									<outputConfigurations>
										<outputConfiguration>
											<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/xtext/</outputDirectory>
										</outputConfiguration>
									</outputConfigurations>
								</language>
							</languages>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
					<execution>
						<id>generate-txt</id>
						<goals>
							<goal>generate</goal>
						</goals>
						<phase>prepare-package</phase>
						<configuration>
							<languages>
								<language>
									<setup>com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hello.HelloStandaloneSetup</setup>
									<outputConfigurations>
										<outputConfiguration>
											<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/xtext</outputDirectory>
										</outputConfiguration>
									</outputConfigurations>
								</language>
							</languages>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
					<dependencies>
						<dependency>
							<groupId>com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hello</groupId>
							<artifactId>com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hello</artifactId>
							<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
						</dependency>
						<dependency>
							<groupId>com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hellogenn</groupId>
							<artifactId>com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hellogenn</artifactId>
							<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
						</dependency>
					</dependencies>
			</plugin>

In the example. The com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hellogenn.HelloGenStandaloneSetup is executed first and then the com.idiomaticsoft.dsl.hello.HelloStandaloneSetup language.

I wrote a blog post about it at: https://idiomaticsoft.com/post/2022-03-28-have-dsl-as-input-for-another/ with the full explanation and a working project.
