Individuall deployment folder for generated files (xtend2/xtext2) [message #893771]

Hello everyone

One (easy) question: When you define a metamodel via xtext and write your generator via xtend and than write your model file (e.g. 'foo.myDSL') in a src folder - the generated files are placed in the nearby src-gen folder. I didn't find an fitting entry in the mwe2-file (I know that you could customize your older here if you used the xpand technology).

But I want to deploy the files to the folder of their projects so that I must not copy those files after each generation. Is it possible to customize the folder? And does this folder will be cleaned before the new files will be deployed to the customized folder.

Thanks for any answer
Hannes

Hi,

targeting the IDE IOutputConfigurationProvider is you friend.
standalone (mwe) there is only a very basic support for output config

	component = org.eclipse.xtext.generator.GeneratorComponent {
		register = org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDslStandaloneSetup {}
		slot = 'model'
		outlet = {
			path = targetDir
		}
	}

for the cleaning you have to care yourself using the directoycleaner component
