How to mark the generated output folder run by XtextBuilder as derived [message #896134]

Hi,

I am using Xtext and have an application which runs the Xtext builder to generate output files. I am able to mark the files within the output directory as derived, however I want the output directory itself to be marked as derived.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks for any help,
Latha

Hi Latha,

did you try to use the Properties dialog for that folder? Does it
support to mark the folder as derived?

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Yes, the folder has attributes Derived, Archive, Read only.

As of now, I have subclassed BuilderParticipant class and overridden build() method as below,

@Override
public void build(IBuildContext context, IProgressMonitor monitor) throws CoreException {
final IProject builtProject = context.getBuiltProject();
IFolder outputFolder = builtProject.getFolder("output-folder");
if (!outputFolder.exists()) {
outputFolder.create(true, true, monitor);
}
outputFolder.setDerived(true, monitor);
super.build(context, monitor);
}
Is this right?

However, I also want to make all the folders within output-folder also to be marked derived.

Thanks,
Latha
