Hi,

I was wondering if it possible to run Acceleo without using any eclipse's plugins. I tried to find information online but no luck.

Thanks.

Hi

Sorry. It's like asking if you can write Java without using any classes....

Hi,

Thank you for the answer.
Reading the question again I saw that I didn't ask the right question.

What I meant to ask was:

Is it possible to have the acceleo code generation executed outside of eclipse?

If we want to create a code generation utility and have it being executed as a standalone utility, would it be possible? And if so what type of guidance can you provide.

Thanks.

Hi

I would start by reading the documentation and focussing on "standalone" and Googling for similar.

EMF and OCL that Acceleo leverages both support standalone usage so it shouldn't be a problem to execute, so long as you ensure that the *.emtl file is prepared correctly so that all file references are correctly resolved standalone; probably needs some customisation of the main program.
