hello, i want to generate a *.genmodel from a given ecore file using the
ant, how could i just run the ant file and can generate the genmodel and
finally get the gnerated code, is that possible to do it in this way? i
can't find some useful information, does anyone have some simple exanples
of this ant file, i will be grateful for some useful examples, thanks

Larry,

We have an Ant task for XSD -> GenModel but not one for Ecore ->
GenModel so the best I can do is point you to that as an example.

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/xsd/2.2.0/javadoc/org/ eclipse/xsd/ecore/importer/taskdefs/XSDGeneratorTask.html

If someone works on Ecore -> GenModel, that would be a nice contribution
to the project...

hi:
i have checked this xsd2genmodel package, it seems useful, but i can't
use it, i didn't find any related information of this ecore2genmodel in
ant build. i think the better way to do that is to use ant taskdef to
define the task in the java code, but also i can't find enough information
in this, if you have some information about how to use build a genmodel in
the workspace and load ecore file in this genmodel, please show me an
example, thank you inadvance
regards
larry

Larry,

Marcelo is looking into providing an Ant task for this. Maybe it will
be ready for tomorrow's build. In the mean time, all I can do is point
you at source code. Such as the support for -ecore2GenModel in the
org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore.Generator.

This should work! Please be sure to include modelproject="" and modelprojectfragmentpath="", as well as the other "I do not want..." options. If you do not include them, the ant task just throws nasty unexplained exceptions at you.
(IndexOutOfBounds, etc...)

	<target name="makeGenModel">
	<emf.Ecore2Java
	generateeditorproject="false"
	generateeditproject="false"
	generatemodelproject="false"
	generatejavacode="false" 
	genmodel="model/imported.genmodel"
	model="model/sourceMetamodel.ecore"
	reconcilegenmodel="overwrite"
	validatemodel="true"
	modelproject=""	modelprojectfragmentpath=""/>
	</target>

Hello Joerr Guy Suess,
I am newbie to writing Ant scripts. I am interested in ant task for generating genmodel from given ecore model. I just saw that you have solved the similar problem. Could you please help me write an ant task which can take ecore model as an input and generate genmodel as a result? or do you have existing code which can solve the mentioned purpose?

thank you very much.
regards
saad

It is the task shown above. Make sure you run it from within eclipse, it has many dependencies. Documentation is available in the eclipse online help and the back of the EMF book. Alternatively, look at oaw (open architecture ware) they should have tools for that purpose.
