Headless PDE build with Xtext? [message #637325]

Hi,

My plugins are ready and now I want to create a complete Eclipse product. I have created a Product configuration file and if I do a manual export, I can create a product with my xtext editor.

I'm trying to create a headless pde build (following this tutorial: http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePDEBuild/article.html) but it is not working. The main issues is its complaning about the metal model java files not being present (even through I ran the .mwe2 flow manually) from the .xtext file not being available.

Does anyone have a small example of a PDE build with xtext? Is this even possible?

Thank you for any ideas.

Did you add the emf-gen folder properly as a source folder in
build.properties?

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your help. Here is how my build.properties file looks like for the grammar folder (org.xtext.example.MyDSL). It looks OK to me. I'm not aware of any folder called "emf-gen"? The .mwe2 file generates stuff in the src-gen folder.

Quote:

source.. = src/,\
src-gen/
bin.includes = META-INF/,\
.,\
plugin.xml
bin.excludes = META-INF/.svn/

Thanks

Are you using a generated or an imported metamodel?

If it's generated, you should have a EcoreGeneratorFragment in your
workflow that will call the EMF generator to create EMF classes from the
Ecore model in a folder called emf-gen. This one must be listen in the
build.properties as src folder.

If it's imported, make sure you have the generated EMF code and add a
(reexported) dependency from the Xtext to the plug-in containing the
code. Make also sure the EMF plug-in exports the Java packages.

Xtext does not support dynamic EMF.
