Model Directory outside the workspace directory [message #414422]

Tue, 06 November 2007 09:20

Hello,

the Model Directory property of the genmodel controls
the location into which model code is generated. Is this
directory always relative to the workspace root?

I am using the org.eclipse.emf.examples.generator.validator
example and would like to generate code/text
that is in an arbitrary directory/URI.
E.g. file:/c:/someDirectory/

Is this possible? How?

Regards,

Reinhold

Reinhold,

When generating while running as an Eclipse application the code will
generally expect this to be a workspace relative path. Note that you
can create a project that's physically located anywhere in the file
system, so with that approach, create a project called someDirectory
that's located at c:/someDirectory, you could achieve the goal. I think
you generally should be generating into the workspace when running as an
Eclipse application...

Thanks Ed,

the workaround with the project outside of the workspace directory
will do for now. When generating code or project files for other
IDEs than eclipse it would have been nice to specify an arbitrary
directory/URI (e.g. the workspace of the non eclipse IDE) without
a detour.

Reinhold
