Different output model directories for interfaces, impls, etc? [message #654454] Tue, 15 February 2011 20:56 Go to next message

Hi all,

What's the easiest way to have different types of model classes go to different output directories?

My team has structured our workspace so that interfaces, implementations, and factories reside in different Eclipse projects. However, as far as I can tell, a EMF genmodel only allows us to specify a single model directory for all its output.

Right now, we're manually moving the output classes to different projects, but this is cumbersome and makes it harder to take advantage of the built-in merge capability.

Any pointers at all would be most appreciated. I'm new to EMF, so apologies if this is a basic question!

Thanks,


KL

Hum! The use of interfaces, factories,... in EMF generator is more a
questions of design patterns than a high level architecture. The
generated code in all corresponds to the Ecore metamodel, which is a
single homogeneous artefact. As this, it should remains in one Eclipse
plug-in (at, least, it makes sense to split editor and model parts).

Your structure seems to target other constraints or goals. May be you
should adapt your way to do things to the tools you use for that...

Yes. In fact the factory interface refers to the default implementation
class via its eINSTANCE...
