EMF generates to the wrong directory [message #1859160]

I have used EMF for years. This is a first and I am wondering if someone can shed any light.

When I do a generate "All", I get a copy of the editor from the editor project in the edit project. This happens and the thing won't build.

The project is called ALFSDK. I have my ecore in ALFSDK.model. I generate and get:

ALFSDK.model
ALFSDK.model.edit
ALFSDK.model.editor
ALFSDK.model.test

So far so good. Looks normal.

The generator generates: alfsdk.presentation.ALFSDKEditor.java, this in the *.editor bundle;
AND
alfsdk.provider.ALFSDKEditor.java this, in the *.edit bundle. It's the same class in both places. What could cause this?

I will say that my bundles are submodules in a Maven build. and I have had to adopt non standard pathing. The path to the errant file is
src/gen/java/alfsdk/provider.ALFEditor.java

Maven packages everything just fine if I first delete the errant file.

Thanks

Hi

I often have magic things happen with genmodel and I don't even have Maven to help me.

I find there is no substitute for going in with a debugger and finding out where and so why the perverse thing happens. It is almost always a stupid typo on my part, much aggravated by genmodel's flexibility to suit many different tastes.

Regards

Where it generates depends in the Xyz Directory properties. Setting it to blank turns off that generation. For the GenModel we see that we deliberately generate the edit and editor into the same project.
