emf.ecore2Java and templatepath [message #508297]

Hi,

I'm trying to use custom template for emf generation in an ant script.

In local, the generation take care of my templates.
But using emf.ecore2java, I can't make it working. I used the templatepath parameter :

		<emf.Ecore2Java
			modelproject="${buildDirectory}/plugins/${modelsFolder}/process.ecore"
			model="${buildDirectory}/plugins/${modelsFolder}/process.ecore"
			genmodel="${buildDirectory}/plugins/${modelsFolder}/process.genmodel"
			modelprojectfragmentpath="src"
			reconcilegenmodel="keep"
			generatejavacode="true"
			generatemodelproject="true"
			generateeditproject="true"
			generateeditorproject="false"
			templatepath="${buildDirectory}/plugins/${modelsFolder}/EMFTemplates"/>

I checked that the template path is the right one.

i didn't see in the trace of the build any issue. It didn't tell me that it didn't find the templates nor if it tried to use them.

What kind of issue can it be?
Is there an option in the genmodel to allow it?

thanks by advance,

Aurelien,

It will look for templates on the path, but it's valid for there to be
no overriding templates there. It's probably better to build up your
GenModel in the IDE, test that it works, and to reuse the settings
within the GenModel itself. I'm not sure the templatepath option will
override what's in the existing GenModel.

Thanks for your answer Ed.

but it's working locally.

In properties-> Templates & merge,
I set the template directory and dynamic templates to true.

If I don't precise the templatepath it doesn't work also.

Aurelien,

I'm not sure but it might need to be a URI when it's not a workspace
path. I.e., it might need to be file:/c:/....

it doesn't seem to work more :

Quote:

The specifed 'templatePath' attribute is not a valid directory.

Do you know the name class responsible to use this attribute? (in order to take a look directly into it what it will)

Aurelien,

Ultimately it's passed to the JETCompiler. The GenBaseGeneratorAdapter
passes it there. The GeneratorTask does processing of arguments.
