Model instance( derived from the metamodel .ecore) to Java code using xtend2 [message #705147]

I'm new to xtend2.

I have defined metamodel(my.ecore) then created the model instance like (aaa.my) I would like to refer this model instance in xtend2 template to generate java code.

I donot want to use the xtext grammar to generate the (.ecore file ) since I already have one.

Is there a way how I can achieve this , i can imagine writing the mwe2 file( in a way we write .mwe file to read the model instance and the xpand template file(.xpt)) but have no idea what this file consists of.

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to invoke xtend2(.xtend) template from java code instaed of using (mwe2 file). I searched a lot but didn't find any example, though I found an example on how to invoke Xpand template from java code but this is not exactly what I want.

Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

normally an Xtend2-Template is compiled into a java class which you can "invoke".

Alex, I can understand that would be a normal java method invocation.

This is what i can think of now to test the Template invocation through java :
I created a test class to test this.

public class Test {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Initialize the model
StatemachinePackage.eINSTANCE.eClass();
MyDslGenerator myDslGenerator = new MyDslGenerator(); // java class for the Xtend template
// Obtain a new resource set
ResourceSet resourceSet = new ResourceSetImpl();
// Register the XMI resource factory for the .statemachine extension
resourceSet
.getResourceFactoryRegistry()
.getExtensionToFactoryMap()
.put("statemachine", new XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(URI.createURI("model/My.statemachine"), true);

myDslGenerator.doGenerate(resource, new JavaIoFileSystemAccess());
}
}

But Now I'm getting this exception :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A slot with name 'DEFAULT_OUTPUT' has not been configured.
at org.eclipse.xtext.generator.JavaIoFileSystemAccess.generateFile(JavaIoFileSystemAccess.java:23)
at org.eclipse.xtext.generator.AbstractFileSystemAccess.generateFile(AbstractFileSystemAccess.java:34)
at test.MyDslGenerator.doGenerate(MyDslGenerator.java:30)
at test.Test.main(Test.java:30)

I dont know how to initialize the slot or am I doing something wrong here.

Hi,

maybe you should follow the error message and configure your JavaIoFileSystemAccess()
see org.eclipse.xtext.generator.GeneratorComponent.getConfiguredFileSystemAccess()

Hi,

if I create a new Xtext project and run the workflow, a generator package is generated as well. It contains a Main.java containing the following lines (note the comment)

// configure and start the generator
fileAccess.setOutputPath("src-gen/");
generator.doGenerate(resource, fileAccess);

Xtend2 is compiled to java, so why not call the generated Java method?
