Create gmfgen from gmfmap and generate code [message #217404]

Hi,

I have just used the EcoreGeneratorTask via an ant script to generate from
an .ecore model the .genmodel and generate the corresponding code.

Is there a similar way using an ant task to create from a .gmfmap model
the .gmfgen and generate the diagram code for that. In case there is no
ant task to do that, could someone provide a starting point on how to do
that?

Should I start from the Generation Framework Package
org.eclipse.gmf.codegen.gmfgen? I am kind of lost on that.

Thanks,

Achilleas

Hi,

Sorry for posting again but I don't seem to know how to start with this! I
have a .gmfmap model and I will like to create the .gmfgen and generate
the diagram code from that.

I found out that xpand has replaced JET templates (thats very good I might
add) for the generation of diagram code. I also extracted the templates
included in the org.eclipse.gmf.codegen but I don't know how to use them.

I will keep searching for an answer and hope someone might reply.

Thanks,

Achilleas

Hello Achilleas,

I don`t really understand what you want to do. I don`t know what JET
Templates and ant scripts have to do with the generation of gmfmap and
gmfgen-files.
Did you follow any of the Tutorials yet:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/GMF_Documentation ?

Perhaps you can describe your problem more precisely?

Best wishes
Julia

you could use an other approach as ant :

Hi Julia,

Ok to be more precise.

I have an .ecore model from which I am able to automatically
(programmatically) create the .genmodel and generate the java code for the
model,edit,editor projects. This is performed by running an ant script
that makes use of the EcoreGeneratorTask to generate the .genmodel and the
java code. Not by using the Eclipse EMF capabilities, e.g. right click on
genmodel and choose "Generate Model Code". Using this automatic task I
can generate the code and run an instance of the EMF tree-based editor to
define my models.

Now I want to do the same for the diagram GMF-based editor. I have the
gmfmap model and I don't want to right-click on it and choose "Create
generator model" and the right click on .gmfgen to choose "Generate
diagram code"; via the eclipse GMF capabilities. What I want is to
automate this task programmatically or via an ant script as in the first
case.

And yes I have read most of the tutorials. I hope my clarification is
precise so that anyone can provide me with some guidelines how to start
doing that?

Thanks,

Achilleas

Hello Achilleas,

Unfortunately there is no such ANT-task in GMF now.
You can create it yourself and then contribute it to GMF. While writing this
task you have to instantiate and execute org.eclipse.gmf.internal.bridge.transform.TransformToGenMode lOperation
class using existing Map->Gen transformation wizard implementation as an
example (org.eclipse.gmf.internal.bridge.transform.TransformToGenMod elWizard).

Hello Alex,

Thanks for the suggestions and for clarifying that there is no ant task
for GMF. I will try to do that following the class and wizard you
suggested as a starting point. I will let you know of the outcome.

Thanks,

Achilleas

Hi everyone,

Has there been any progress in implementing an Ant task for gmfmap->gmfgen?

I had a go at trying to automate it within Eclipse myself a few weeks
ago, but most of the necessary classes were hidden in .internal.*
packages. I am pretty sure it's not possible to provide this
functionality without having to delve and commit directly into the trunk.

Hi Jevon,

you could try GMFTools. Basically, it provides what you're looking for: automated transformation of gmfmap to gmfgen and even the diagram code. Additionally, using Xtend you can merge special settings (the GMF reconciler usually "forgets") into the target gmfgen. Even batch generation is possible, if you're developing several GMF editors. On the GMFTools site there's a wiki to help you get started.
