Hello,
I am using Xtend to generate Java code based on a program written in my DSL. Alongside this generated Java code, I would like to include a library (two Java files I have already written, that won't change based on the DSL program). What is the best way to include such a library ?
I know it's possible to simply copy-paste the two Java files into an Xtend template and generate the files from there, but I would rather programatically copy the files.
Thanks in advance.

well the problem is that is not available outside of eclipse.
the runtime module is meant to work from standalone mode as well where no plugins exist
=> you could create a Service IDoSomething
=> implement it in runtime with a impl that throws an illegalstate (or does read the file from classpath)
=> implement it in ui by using the code from above
=> add bindings to both runtime and ui
=> inject service to generator and call it from there

what do you mean by "access files"
and what do you mean by "access from the project"
if e.g. you want to create a java library and your model project can be a java project
you can make the model project a plugin project,
create a library plugin and add it to the dependencies of the model project.
or you create a custom classpath container as XtendContainerInitializerdoes it for xtend
(you can see how that works if you
- create a java project
- create a xtend file
- it will complain about missing library
- there is a quickfx to add it

Quote:I'll rephrase my question: is it possible to access files in the project where my xtext grammar and xtend generator are, from the project in a new Eclipse runtime, where I write programs in my DSL?
Nothing is impossible, but this approach does not make sense. Put your library into a library project and reference the library like you would do for any other Java library. If your target project is a plugin project, the library should also be a plugin project and use plugin dependencies. If the library is plain Java, build a Jar and use it as a referenced library.
The target project where the code is generated to is "just" a Java project, so think that you need a library in a Java project. That's it.
