Ant Script for Acceleo Compiler to generate EMTL files [message #1228040]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to use the ANT file headless build (buildstandalone.xml) for our acceleo project. At first project which does not have dependencies from other project the build fine and the emtl was generated correctly but when i build the next project with the dependency with the first project i was not able to build it successfully. I have encountered lots of errors like below but it built on the PDE with no errors.

Please any input. thanks in advance.

AntTask:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project basedir="." default="compile" name="com.xxx.yyy.zzz.genpp">

<property name="ECLIPSE_HOME" value="F:/opt/1.3/eclipse"/>
<property name="SOURCE_FOLDER" value="${basedir}/src/"/>
<property name="OUTPUT_FOLDER" value="${basedir}/src/"/>

<path id="com.xxx.yyy.zz.genpp.classpath">
<path refid="com.xxx.yyy.zz.genpp.libraryclasspath" />
</path>

<echo> ${SOURCE_FOLDER} </echo>
<echo> ${OUTPUT_FOLDER} </echo>

</dirset>
<fileset dir="${ECLIPSE_HOME}/../stage.area/">

</fileset>
</path>

<taskdef id="Acompile" name="Acompile" classname="org.eclipse.acceleo.parser.compiler.AcceleoCompiler" classpathref="acceleoPath" >

<target name="compile">
<Acompile sourceFolder="${SOURCE_FOLDER}"
outputFolder="${OUTPUT_FOLDER}"
dependencies=""

</Acompile>
</target>
</project>

Hi,

The best solution regarging any issue with Ant and Acceleo is not to use Ant. It is not actively supported anymore since we have moved to Tycho. There are examples of very complex build involving several generators on github.

Confirmed ! Worked for me except that I had to mention the repositories where the Maven acceleo-compile:3.2.1 was located:

...
  <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
      <!-- need maven-findbugs-2.3.2-SNAPSHOT, see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MFINDBUGS-122 remove this when this version is released -->
      <id>codehaus.snapshots</id>
      <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/</url>
    </pluginRepository>
	<pluginRepository>
      <id>Indigo Release</id>
      <url>https://raw.github.com/eclipse/acceleo/master/maven/repository/releases/indigo</url>
    </pluginRepository>
	<pluginRepository>
      <id>Juno Release</id>
      <url>https://raw.github.com/eclipse/acceleo/master/maven/repository/releases/juno</url>
    </pluginRepository>
	<pluginRepository>
      <id>Snapshots</id>
      <url>https://raw.github.com/eclipse/acceleo/master/maven/repository/snapshots</url>
    </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>
...

Even not sure that Kepler and Juno are online ... Could you confirm Stephane ?

Best regards;

Hi,

I am currently improving the Acceleo maven plugin. It will now be published on repo.eclipse.org (the first version has been published there today). It will now be built directly along the Acceleo artifacts which will also be published on repo.eclipse.org automatically. I will migrate the examples and integrate them to our continuous integration tomorrow.

Stephane,

You mentioned a new release of Acceleo Maven plugin:

It's also documented Acceleo/Maven wiki page, describing the same changes - migration to a new repo, changing the build process.
Are there other changes?

Thanks,
Tanya
