referencing other xtext files in standalone execution of IGenerator [message #803564]

We have created a xtext-dsl that generates JAVA (source-)code.
Our XText-Plugins for this dsl are distributed in the development-team and works fine.

To use our dsl in a project we need a way to generate the Java-Artifacts from the DSL-Modelfile via Maven-Build (we don't want to change the XText-DSL-Plugin-development to Maven).

Right now we have to commit the via Eclipse generated files to SVN.

This way works mostly:
zarnekow.blogspot.com/2010/06/how-to-deploy-xtext-standalone.html

But we have some profile information, in a dsl file on the classpath which is not used when compiling the other files.

Everything works fine if used in eclipse itself.
But not in the maven build.

We have tried to parse the profile information first, but that did not help.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

how do you read the model file? do you use the org.eclipse.xtext.mwe.Reader workflow component? if yes do you use it with the UseJavaClassPath option set to true
