[Xpand] Adding files to ouput [message #534265]

Hello,

is there a way to add files (or even better a directory) to the generated files ?

I have some files that are already written, and that I have to add to every generated code, and I want to add them to output.

How can I do that ?

Hi Maxime!

I'm not sure if I understand correct, but maybe the append flag for an outlet is what you are searching for. In the workflow generator component configuration add
<outlet path="..." name="APPEND_OUT" append="true"...

When you want to append something to a specific file use the FILE statement and name the APPEND_OUT outlet:

«FILE fileExp APPEND_OUT»

Sometimes I'm surprised as how quick people answer Smile

I generate JAVA code, and all my classes will extend an Entity class that is already written and set in stone.

I just want to have a copy of this file written with my generated files, so that I don't have to copy/paste it from explorer after generation.

(actually I have a few packages, not just one file)

Hello Maxime,

why don't you have a look at org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.FileCopy ?

I have a noob question :s

I downloaded the emft-mwe-Update-0.8.0M5.zip (latest stable build), but I don't know how to install it.

I tried uninstalling MWE and copy/paste files from zip to eclipse directory, but doesn't work. So how can I install it ? Is there a site that I can add to add it using eclipse ?

Regards,

maxime

EDIT : found how to install MWE 1.0, but i get an error when running my workflow files. Still searching.

The easiest way to install it is via update manager.

Updated to new version, I have a problem with FileCopy.

workflow tells me file does not exist.

I tried pointing to my file following what I found there
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.m2t/org .eclipse.xpand/doc/org.eclipse.xpand.doc/html/xpand_referenc e.html?root=Modeling_Project&view=co

So I get

	<component id="copier" class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.FileCopy"
		sourceFile="genCPP/src/fr/onera/gamme/pool/Entity.java"
		targetFile="genCPP/src-gen/myEntity/Entity.java"
	/>

Hello Maxime,

please note: "." is the root of the project you execute the workflow within so in your case

<component id="copier" class="org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.FileCopy"
		sourceFile="../genCPP/src/fr/onera/gamme/pool/Entity.java"
		targetFile="../genCPP/src-gen/myEntity/Entity.java"
	/>

might be working (asuming genCPP is the project name)

AND: the target dir must exist.
