Hi,

Is it possible to use java for code generation as opposed to xtend?
Sorry if the question is too silly, but I've just gone through a tutorial, and it appears that the java file(s) are meant to be generated from xtend; can this be overriden?

Thanks,

stan

P.S: of course your implementation of an IGenerator can be any java class - but of course you wont have rich string support there

If I want to provide code generation for my DSL, I need to edit, say MyDslGenerator.xtend from which
MyDslGenerator.java is generated (in xtend-gen). Now my question. Can this behavior be altered? I'd like to implement code generation in java thereby bypassing xtend. Of course I could do so outside of eclipse, but in eclipse I am unable to edit MyDslGenerator.java.

Thanks,

stan

Hi delete the Xtend file and its java file. Open the workflow and
set generate stub To false in the generator fragment. Rerun the
workflow. Create the missing class in java
