Currently I'm overriding Texo templates following documention on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Texo/Template_Overriding. One thing that I am currently stuck is calling my custom processing logic written in java from overriden templates. This is done through additional extension file (service-utils.ext) i.e.:

addition.xpt -> service-utils.ext -> org.example.service.utils.AnnotationUtils.isRemote().

I've tried to put custom processing logic (i.e. AnnotationUtils) in:
- the same plugin where addition.xpt and service-utils.ext are located
- separate plugin (with dependencies set correctly in MANIFEST.MF file);

However every time when I call Texo / Generate Model Code on my ecore file I got exception like this:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.example.service.utils.AnnotationUtils.isRemote() not found, problems were: 
[AnalysationIssueType not found] - Couldn't find Java type org.example.service.utils.AnnotationUtils : org.example.service.utils.AnnotationUtils


Could anybody confirm that it's possible to invoke custom logic from overriden templates in Texo?
Thanks for help.

Dominik

Hi Dominik,
I can see why this does not work, but not sure what a good solution would be. The code generation runs in the IDE
itself, so it uses the classpath of the IDE itself.
I think for this to ever work the code you have should be in a plugin installed in the IDE, this plugin should register
its dependency with the modelgenerator plugin or be dependent on (then I would need to change the buddy policy of the
Texo generation plugins to do 'dependent').

Is your code in a plugin in the IDE?

Can you enter a testcase for this? I can add a testcase to cover this.

gr. Martin

Hi Martin,

Thanks for quick answer and support. I was somehow thinking that my problem is connected with Texo working on IDE classpath and my plugins or java files not being there. However finally I was able to rewrite my processing logic from java to Xpand extensions (.ext). So from my point of view this feature is not needed.

On the other hand I would really like to see support for writing templates in Xtend instead of Xpand. What do you think? As I have seen in the sources, you're already using Xtend internally.

Cheers,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,
The reason is that xpand templates can be loaded dynamically from the development project in the workspace development
project. This also makes it quick to try it out.

Xtend templates are converted in java code in the same dev project, Texo can not compile/load this code in the IDE
classpath/environment. At least not that I know.

But maybe there are other ways to accomplish this, for example by calling Texo code generation from the development
project itself. But I don't have a good idea on this...

Hi Martin,
have you ever looked to the "InPlace Activator"? ( http://javatime.no/ )
It needs a runing IDE under Java 7 but allows you to start and run
workspace bundles in your current enviroment.
Maybe this would be a nice approach for the Xtend templates.

Greetings
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
Thanks for the link, always interesting to check it out. I need to dive into this to get a feel for how/if this can be
used. But first I want to get xcore support in Texo..
