[Acceleo]How to protect user code by signature changes [message #512228]

Hi All,

We have been generation classes using the protected functionally for writing
user code in the operation body which works fine.

If we change the operation name or signature of the operation the old
operation including the user code is removed.

How do we specify the old operation not to be removed?

Hi Koos,

Protected code will never be removed through generation, except if :
1) You change the marker of the protected area
2) You've put "@generated" on your class and haven't changed this tag
in-between generations, causing JMerge to remove the old operation

Acceleo generations aren't tied to their target : it doesn't know your
generating code. Method names thus cannot alter the generation process.

However, Eclipse's jdt can alter your code ; for example if you've set
it to automatically remove unused methods.
