Hi,
I'm new Acceleo user.
I create my metamodel using EMF, now i want to generate text (code) from this metamodel with accelo template.

- My metamodel has many packages for each i have NsURI
- I export my EMF Project in Eclipse plug-in application and install this plug-in in
- Eclipse.
- I create Acceleo projet with Main module and write my firtst template. But when i run this application i don't get any output file.

Hi,

What is the error message you get when you "don't get any output file"? (Window > Show View > Error Log ... and look if there is something in there when a generation fails.)

If you have no error message whatsoever, the most plausible explanation is that the model you feed Acceleo as an input of your generation has no element matching the type of your main template.

Hi,

What version of Acceleo are you using? (if 3.1, then try to change the settings of your Acceleo project to use the XMI serialization: right click on the project -> properties -> Acceleo -> check XMI).

If I understand you correctly, if you have your metamodel in the workspace and if you are working with it in your generator it works but when you deploy the metamodel (and the generator?) as plugins in another eclipse it does not work anymore. You should try the switch to XMI based serialization or you could work on your generator with the metamodel install as a plugin first.
