Hi,
is it possible to share a generator workflow as an IDE plug-in to be
used out of the box by developers?
In the tutorials the generator workflow is to be created by the
application developer (possibly using templates).
I'd like to separate DSL/tooling development strictly from using these
tools. A developer should only see & edit the models without
seeing/editing generator workflows or templates (like clicking on a
Xtext model file and run generator tasks using a context menu item or
using a builder/project nature).
Is such a workflow possible / are there examples/documentation about
writing such plug-ins?
Greetings,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,
it is definitly possible to provide an Eclipse UI Action that invokes a
generator workflow which does not reside in your own eclipse workspace
but in a plugin. The builder approach will work, too.
Please refer to the WorkflowRunner and its friends to learn about how to
invoke a workflow programmatically.
Hope that helps,
Sebastian
