Inserting copyright information in generated code [message #760074]

Hi,

I am new to XText and created my grammer. I want to know how to configure Xtext to insert a copyright message when classes are generated when we run generate XText Artifacts command.

Thanks
Arvind

The Xtext generator fires up a bunch of AbstractGeneratorFragment instances, each of which generate source (text) by means of an Xpand template file with the same name as the generator fragment's class. E.g., the (org.eclipse.xtext.generator.ecore.)EcoreGeneratorFragment class has an Xpand template EcoreGeneratorFragment.xpt next to it which does the actual (text) generation.

To override its behavior you can subclass the generator fragments whose generation behavior you need to customize and provide your own Xpand template which overrides the behavior of the original template in the desired way. More about this: http://dslmeinte.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/configuring-local-and-global-scope-providers-at-the-same-time/ It's written for Xtext 1.0.1 but still seems valid enough for current Xtext.
