[Acceleo] Any tutorials on generating java domain classes? [message #1453357]

Hi

I am researching Sirius and looking at how to generate code from Sirius diagrams.

There is very little info on the Sirius website on how to do this.

I assume this can be done using Acceleo, however there are very limited tutorials on using Acceleo - and the ones I have found are Android, PHP, C - but none on Java, which I find quite strange.

Is Acceleo the recommend tool for java code generation from Sirius?
And are there any recent, up-to-date, tutorials on how to do generate java domain classes using Acceleo?

Thanks

Hi

You don't usually need a Java generator since EMF does it all for you.

Ok thats great.

However, as I would like to generate Bean Validation code, and be able to customize the generated java, I imagine that I would need to use - or could at least benefit from - Acceleo.

Or, is fine grained control of the generated java possible with EMF?

Hi

EMF generation has a lot of flexibility. Not sure if it does what you want.

What I forgot in mt previous response was to mention that all the JET
templates underlying the standard EMF generation haave been traslated to
Acceleo, so they might give you a starter.

But to be honest, generation of dedicated structural Java code is so
easy I would expect to write the Acceleo code quicker than I could find
something to reuse let alone tailor what I found for reuse.

This is great to hear! Really positive! And I this is what I want to do - I just need some pointers or examples to help me get started.
