Hello,

I would like to know whether is there a way to check the code generator(Xtend)for the given DSL instance(ie., model) without running it in a new eclipse instance?
Because each and every time when I make changes with the Xtend file(to generate an output which is somewhat template based) I have to run it as a eclipse application to check the generated-output, which sometimes fails if there exists some errors in the generator.
Thanks for any help provided.

Or you could write unit tests (strongly recommended).

You could write also a MWE2 workflow (which is generated by the generator fragment) and execute this from DEV workspace.
