[org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore] Model code generation templates in Xtend? [message #1235530]

Hi,

I was looking at the source code of EMF looking for templates used for code generation from a GenModel and I ended up looking inside the "org.eclipse.emf.codegen.ecore" plugin source code.

There, I found Java and JET templates (I assume the former is generated from the latter) and I was wondering:

Am I looking at the right templates? i.e. are these templates the ones used when generating code using "Right click->Generated Model code"?
If so, is there by any chance an Xtend version of these templates available somewhere ?

What I'm looking for is to generate the same code as Eclipse would do but by using Xtend.

Thanks,
BQ.

No, I don't think the EMF code generation ever moved beyond Xtend.
I made an attempt to move EMF to e4 generation, which at some point
would start to use Xtend, but that is really only the UI side of EMF.
see here: https://github.com/dzonekl/e4mf

What is it you are looking for to change in the templates?

Thanks for the info, I'm definitely gonna have a look at e4mf.

Why I'm looking for this? Because I want to have total control on how the code is generated.

Regards,
BQ.
