Preventing code generation from marking files as deleted in VCS [message #1441223]

Hi,

I'm using the MercurialEclipse plugin to manage my project containing models of a DSL I implemented with Xtext.

When a clean is done on the project, it seems that Xtext removes the resources and that marks them as removed from the VCS.

I would like to avoid that, is that a problem with Xtext itself or should it be handled at the level of my DSL plugin?

Thank you

Hi Victor,

Xtext uses EMF's resource API to delete files. You may check out the
option to prevent cleaning the output folder on a clean operation. That
would be in the OuputConfigurationProvider of your language.

Could you also please file a ticket? Is the mecurial plugin freely
available such that we can reproduce as soon as you filed the bug?

Best,
Sebastian

Hi,

Changing the option canClearOutputDirectory from true to false (the settings used in Xtend) fixed the problem.

I nevertheless reported the problem in case it is necessary here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=446575
