Removing unnecessary files in ProjectCreator [message #629361]

When I create a new project for my DSL, it creates the follows:

src/
src-gen/
MANIFEST-MF
build.properties
JRE-System library
Plug-in Dependencies.

I only want src/ src-gen created. I don't want the rest of these files/directories to exist when a new project is creaetd. Is it possible to do this? If so, how?

I will only be exporting the DSL + UI plugin. I am not generating anything from it for now. Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,

a project without the JRE lib and Plug-in deps cannot be neither a
working plug-in project nor a java project. If you want to create a
simple project, have a look at the
org.eclipse.xtext.ui.wizard.AbstractProjectCreator and the simplest
implementation of the org.eclipse.xtext.ui.util.ProjectFactory.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi,

Thanks for the response. As a developer, from Xtext, I only export the grammar and the UI plugin. I don't use the generator in any way.

As a user of the grammar, I just want to create an empty project with .foo (my grammar filename extension) files only. Since I'm not going to generate any workflow etc, I dont need the generator part. Also it is not a java project so there shouldn't be any jar dependencies etc.

Does the user project need to have any .jar dependencies for the Xtext aware grammar editor to work properly?

Thanks

Also one more question. If I'm to write my own class for the project creator. Where do I store it? It seems like everytime I run the .mwe2 file in the grammar component, it regenerate My<DSL>ProjectCreator.java in the src-gen folder for the UI component. Thanks.

hi,

this is why the src-gen folder is called src-gen (source generated) and a separate source folder - so store it somewhere in the src folder

Another option that worked for me was to put the following in the custom ProjectCreator

try {
project.getFile("build.properties").delete(true, null);
project.getFolder("META-INF").delete(true, null);
} catch (CoreException e) {
// Ignore
}
