Xpand importing ecore model [message #490187]

Hello everybody,

I'm kind of a newbie around xtext, xpand and xtend, I'm trying to use it in a modernization process involving CORBA's IDL.

I've succesfully imported my IDL metamodel in the form of an .ecore file (inside a project called IDLMM) in my xtext t2m transformation, and now I'm trying to use the generator (xpand) to generate code. The problem is that, although I was able to import that .ecore metamodel in the xtext grammar (import 'platform:/resource/IDL-MM/IDLMM.ecore' as IDL), I don't find the way to import that same metamodel in the generator project!. Could anyone bring some light around this surely naive problem?

Thanks in advance,
Pedro.

Hi

you have to put the ecore to your generator project's classpath. then you can import the epackages defined in the ecore file into your xpand templates / check files / xtend files
