Hello, when running my MWE workflow that generates Java from a model, it is quite slow. Slower than it was before, I just upgraded the XPand and XText plugins.

Particularly it hangs for a long while on this bit: 'Registering platform uri '/Users/me/Work/EclipseWorkspaces'
0    INFO  WorkflowEngine     - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

138492 INFO  CompositeComponent - Generator: generating 'template::Main::main FOREACH model' => Technicom-src-gen

Is the new version doing some sort of directory scan or something? How could this waiting time be reduced? Is my classpath to 'big'? Does that matter?

Because if you see the numbers in the log above, it hangs for about 2 minutes!
Hints would be appreciated. Other than this slow thing, it works fine.

Hi,

yes there where heavy changes to StandaloneSetup setPlatformUri e.g.
- .project files are parsed
- jar files are registered as bundles etc
=> a lot more is done as before

Maybe you can try to come up with a subclass of standalonesetup
that overwrites some the expensive stuff if you do not need it.

Or maybe change the way I run things? Because I just register one metamodel, load one model, and convert it to Java using XPand templates.

This is my current workflow (to be sure I am not doing something 'uncommon')

I am actually not sure if I need to use the StandAlone setup! Always running it from Eclipse anyways!

What is the recommended way of running such a workflow if standalone is not necessary??
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<workflow>
    <property name="projectName" value="Technicom" />
    
	<property name="model" value="gwt2java/src/${projectName}/featuresEnabled.ecore" />

	<!-- set up EMF for standalone execution -->
	<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" >
		<platformUri value=".."/>
	    <registerEcoreFile value="platform:/resource/ecore2gwt/metamodels/gwt/gwt.ecore" /> 
	</bean>

Hi,

you need the StandaloneSetup when you call the Workflow via right-click or from Standalone Java Application.

And from a created run-configuration? Do I need StandaloneSetup then?

I fixed it using standalonesetup, by putting the dir not to '..', because that workspace dir is pretty large. Limited it to the current project, and it 's quick again!

	<property name="model" value="gwt2java/src/${projectName}/featuresEnabled.ecore" />
	<property name="src-gen" value="${projectName}-src-gen" />
	
	<!-- set up EMF for standalone execution -->
	<bean class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup" >
		<platformUri value="."/> <!-- ******* this was changed from '..' to '.' -->
	    <registerEcoreFile value="src/metamodel/gwt.ecore" /> 
	</bean>
