How to invoke the code generation programmatically [message #468127]

Hi all,

currently, i'm defining my own metamodel and i had to invoke the
model/edit/editor part generation step by hand. I guess, that it is also
possible to do this via an API programmatically within a ANT script
(some more batch steps like javadoc references, etc.).

Is there a tutorial or a hint, how to achieve this?

Thanks a lot
Timothy

invoke the generation programmatically works with this snippet:

ISelectionService selectionService =
Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWind ow().getSelectionService();
ISelection selection = selectionService.getSelection();
if(selection instanceof IStructuredSelection){
IStructuredSelection strucSel = (IStructuredSelection)selection;
if(strucSel.size() == 1){
if(strucSel.getFirstElement() instanceof GenModel){
GenModel genModel = (GenModel) strucSel.getFirstElement();
Generator generator = new Generator();
generator.setInput(genModel);

generator.generate(genModel,
GenBaseGeneratorAdapter.MODEL_PROJECT_TYPE, new BasicMonitor());
generator.generate(genModel,
GenBaseGeneratorAdapter.EDIT_PROJECT_TYPE, new BasicMonitor());
}
}
}

This starts the generation of the model and the edit code for example.

Timothy,

A google search for "emf generate ant" scores this one high:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.emf/org .eclipse.emf/plugins/org.eclipse.emf.ant/readme.html?root=Mo deling_Project&view=co

Cheers

Hi Timothy,

There are already emf tasks for doing this. Something along the lines of

<emf.Ecore2Java
genmodel="path/to/genmodel"
modelproject="path/to/modelProject"
modelprojectfragmentpath="src">
...
</emf.Ecore2Java>

Sorry I am not sure on the details. There are also XSD2Java, Rose2Java and
JET related tasks too.

I don't know of any tutorials but someone else might.

Hope that helps somewhat.
Tas.
