ANT task for converting an Ecore metamodel to an EMF (Emfatic) file? [message #523096]

Hey guys,

I have a model transformation workflow automated as an ANT project, which
produces an Ecore metamodel. I'd like to enhance it and produce an EMF file
from that Ecore model as well.

I know how to do it in Java (EmfGenerator.generate) and could create my own
ANT task. However, I'm trying to avoid that every team member has to deploy
the ANT task to their Eclipse environment.

Sooo, does anybody know how I could automate with ANT, solely relying on
what ships with EMFT?

Thanks a lot,

Christoph

Christoph,

We only have Ant tasks for importing GenModels models from Java, Ecore,
UML2, and XSD and then for generating the artifacts for those
GenModels. For anything else, you'll have to write your own tasks.

I already feared that. Thanks anyway.
