building the xtext project with the maven build with other java projects [message #1771030]

I am using xtext 2.12.0 I have checked on the net. I made few changes to the existing parent pom.xml. I see that the grammarUri has to be changed to the platformURi in the mwe2 file. In 2.12.0 I did not find this kind of a structure to fill in the path as it uses the rootpath.

I also want to know if any documentation is available for this scenario for xtext 2.12 version.

can you elaborate a bit more on what you want to achieve and what you are doing.
did you have a look at what the new xtext project wizard creates

Hi,
I have configured my maven poms and it is working. But my problem I would like to generate the files in a particular path in a project. Also I want to pick my dsl file in the project from a different destination other than src. I would like to know how I can generate the files in different paths.

I have 4 generators seperately for each type of generation. Like from a single model I am generating, XML,HTML, Java, Javascipt, SQL and also Groovy.

Now i want to generate each type of file in different package respectively in an existing project. I have used dependency injection for the generators.

I would like to know where I can alter the generation of files in the structure of my existing project.

Thanks in advance,
Suprith

Hi,

I have a project which is using the DSL I have made. Now I see that the sample.dsl file is picked only if it is a part of the src/main/java path and generating files properly. I would like to place the sample.dsl file in the path src/main/resources and do the same code generation using maven plugin. I would like to know how to modify this .

Thanks,
Suprith

you can either configure that folder as source folder with maven means (e.g. buildhelper plugins)
or specify sourceRoots inside congiguration of the plugin

e.g.

<sourceroots>
<root>${basedir}/src</root>
<root>${basedir}/emf-gen</root>
</sourceroots>
