Hi,

I've created templates.xml and put in in a templates/ folder in the UI plugin. If I use the eclipse debug framework, I can see these templates in the Window->Preferences->MyDSL. However, when I create a stadnalone product configuration, while my plugins are working, these templates are not appearing. I've added the 'ID' attribute like this:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> 
 <templates>
  <template autoinsert="false" context="org.xtext.example.hlm.MyHLM.Condition" deleted="false" description="" enabled="true" name="cond_template" ID="hlm2">cond (${condition}) { ${true_state} }</template> 
  <template autoinsert="true" context="org.xtext.example.hlm.MyHLM.Default" deleted="false" description="" enabled="true" name="default template" ID="hlm3">default { ${default_state} }</template> 
   <template autoinsert="false" context="org.xtext.example.hlm.MyHLM.State" deleted="false" description="" enabled="true" name="state_template" ID="hlm4">state ${state_name} { action { ${operation}; } cond (${condition}) { ${true_state} } default { ${default_state} } }</template> 
  </templates>


These plugins (along with others) are put in the dependencies of teh UI plugin: 

<plugin id="org.eclipse.xpand"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtend"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.builder"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.common.types"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.generator"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.logging" fragment="true"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.ui"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.util"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.xtext.xtend"/>
<plugin id="org.xtext.example.hlm"/>
<plugin id="org.xtext.example.hlm.generator"/>
<plugin id="org.xtext.example.hlm.ui"/>


Is there some other dependency that I have to add to get this working? I've done 'Add required plugins' when I created the product configuration file and there are no missing dependencies (i.e, everythign is validated). Or maybe I need to set the ID attirbute to something special?

Thanks.

Hi

I don't know whether this might solve the problem, but have you added
the templates directory in your build.properties so that it is included
in the binary build?

cheers
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Thank you for your help. I have verified that the templates directory is included. Here is how my build.properties file looks like:

bin.includes = META-INF/,\
               .,\
               plugin.xml,\
               lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar,\
               lib/poi-3.6-20091214.jar,\
               lib/poi-ooxml-3.6-20091214.jar,\
               lib/xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar,\
               lib/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.6-20091214.jar,\
               log4j.xml,\
               templates/,\
               templates/templates.xml, \
               plugin_customization.ini,\
               splash.bmp,\
               icons/
source.. = src/,\
           src-gen/
bin.excludes = META-INF/.svn/,\
               templates/.svn/,\
               icons/.svn/
jars.extra.classpath = lib/dom4j-1.6.1.jar,\
                       lib/poi-3.6-20091214.jar,\
                       lib/poi-ooxml-3.6-20091214.jar,\
                       lib/poi-ooxml-schemas-3.6-20091214.jar,\
                       lib/xmlbeans-2.3.0.jar


Just to be paranoid, I also added /templates/templates.xml, \ . I confirmed that the file is pesent by doing 'jar xf <jarfile>' so it is included in the UI plugin. But no templates are visible.

Thank you again.

then probably templates are implemented in some plugins which are not
included as an automatic dependency?

That is what I'm thinking as well. But I'm not sure what the name of that dependent plugin is Very Happy

I am not sure, but the element names could be case sensitive. Try to set
id="xx" instead of ID="xx".

I am a bit confused: Aren't you using the MANIFEST.MF to define the
dependencies? This looks like Eclipse 3.0.

Hi Jan,

I can confirm it was a case-sensitive issue!. It should be id=".." instead of ID="". Perhaps the Xtext documentation can be updated with a small one-line example to reflect this.

Thanks!

I just had and resolved this same issue. As of 6/2/2011, the current Xtext guide (at www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/latest/xtext.html#templates ) still specifically states that you need to "insert an ID attribute". Could this be corrected to prevent others from struggling with this same issue?

Thanks, I'm not that familiar with the process here so I wasn't sure what needed to be done. I appreciate the direction and will fill out the bug.

Hi,

http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/support/ has a link to the bugzila

By the way, the sample template contained in the documentation does indicate that "id" is to be written in lower case.
