[Acceleo] Passing external parameter [message #485397]

Hi,

is it possible to pass an external parameter (e.g. a boolean value) to a
template. I want to add some information, which are not stored in the
model, to control the template invocations. I tried a bit with this
Property text dialog in Run Configurations...-Dialog, but with no success.

Thanks a lot
TImothy

Hi Timothy,

Passing a parameter to a template *should* work ... but I must admit I
am not the one who worked on that part of the code.

Just to be sure : you need to have defined your template so that it
takes a boolean as parameter "[template public generate(receiver :
EClass, bool : String)]" and you have to give "true" as the property
(one line of the "property" field per argument. Take good note that the
argument is a String, not a boolean. You'll have to convert this
yourself in the template.
