Copying a whole folder [message #870529]

Hello, I need to generated a folder, in the src-gen where its generated the code from dsl files. I explain:

I have this folder in the computer:

../res

and inside it more folders and files.

And in the dsl project I have something like that:

../myProject/
src-gen/example.php
example.mydsl

I want to generate the folder res inside src-gen. Is it posible???

../myProject/
src-gen/
example.php
res/
example.mydsl

And in the other answer I didnt understand nothing:

What do I have to do????

You have to configure an OutputConfiguration for folder /res by providing an customized IOutputConfiguration, bind it in the runtime module of your DSL project and generate at least one file to this output configuration. The IFileSystemAccess has a method which takes the output configuration name as a second argument.

I dont know what it means.

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi,

what Karsten said: there is NO out of the box solution for that. one possible hook is a custom IFileSystemAccess.
another possibility is a custom org.eclipse.xtext.builder.IXtextBuilderParticipant.

You would subclass org.eclipse.xtext.builder.BuilderParticipant and override handleChangedContents.
Here you have access to the IFileSystemAccess as well.
Since you do not want to generate to the src-gen folder but to the res folder you would need a
own OutputConfiguration for that folder. => Bind a own OutputConfigurationProvider

Never the less you have think about a solution for getting the stuff and copying it yourself
=> Maybe you should do the copy the resources task not with the builder but rather with a classic action/handler or wizard.
