How to trigger Java code generation from Xtext generated Xtend sources [message #1476152]

I have implemented a Xtext language that generates Xtend code.
So, the intention is that a 2 step generation applies. At first, from the Xtext specified language file to Xtend and then from Xtend to Java.

When I start the test workbench the generation of the Xtend source works well, automatically on the file save event. However, the generation of the Java code from the generated Xtend files does not take place. Only when I open a Xtend file and modify it then the Java generation take place.

Does anyone know how to trigger the automatic Java code generation?
I guess, it it something with the builders.

Regards, Denis

Hi Denis,

this *should* happen in Eclipse automatically, but apparently it
doesn't. Could you please file a ticket and attach a small project that
reproduces the issue?

Thanks,
Sebastian
