xtext, xtend and source generation [message #895081]

Hi,

I've developed my custom DSL and a generator which generates an XML-File
from my DSL.

The problem I'm facing now is that if the users of my plugin are on
different OSes I get whitespace changes because
StringConcatenationBuilder by my template always uses the system
line-breaks (StringConcatenation _builder = new StringConcatenation())
when using multiline strings

Is there someway to configure the line break an xtend-multi line string
should use, e.g. by annotating the method or class?

The original method looks like this:

> class FXGraphTemplate implements IGenerator<FXGraphElement> {
>
> override generateContent(FXGraphElement element) '''
> LINE1
> LINE2
> LINE3
> }

> class FXGraphTemplate implements IGenerator<FXGraphElement> {
> @LineBreak("\r\n")
> override generateContent(FXGraphElement element) '''
> LINE1
> LINE2
> LINE3
> }

Tom

Hi Tom,

there is currently no way to configure that in the code. Did you try to
configure the line delimiter in the preferences of your project (the
project that contains the input files for your generated XML stuff).
There is a class called
'org.eclipse.xtext.generator.LineSeparatorHarmonizer' which in turn uses
a IWhitespaceInformationProvider. The latter reads that preference and
the harmonizer should be configured as the default callback for
generated files.

Regards,
Sebastian

Line separator handling is not yet implemented into the
StringConcatenation itself.

Instead, we usa a post processing approach. If you use an
AbstractFileSystemAccess in the IGenerator, there is an
IFilePostProcessor injected. The default LineSeparatorHarmonizer
replaces all newlines with what is configered with as the
IWhitespaceInformationProvider.

Works like a charme - I've replaced the default one with my custom which
forces the windows "\r\n".
