Xcore generation from ant or gradle [message #1404853]

This is similar to an earlier question, but in our case we're using Ant and Gradle, instead of Maven. I have the xtext toolchain working under Ant, outside of any OSGI container, except for generation of the ecore from xcore. Can anyone explain how to run the xcore generator from outside Eclipse?

You can use the xtext-maven-plugin or xtext-gradle-plugin. Add org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xcore to the plugin's dependencies. You may also need to add some transitive dependencies, since Xcore's POMs are somewhat incomplete. Then you can configure XcoreStandaloneSetup in the language configuration.

<languages>
<language>
<setup>org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xcore.XcoreStandaloneSetup</setup>
<outputConfigurations>
<outputConfiguration>
<outputDirectory>emf-gen</outputDirectory>
</outputConfiguration>
</outputConfigurations>
</language>
</languages>

Note however that there was a problem with create/convert expressions and I don't know whether the fix is already contained in the latest Xcore release.
