Generating Xtend code [message #1677149]

From my understanding, the only generator included with Xtext is the JvmModelGenerator which generates java source code. Is there a generator for xtend source files or does it have to be Java only?

Thanks!

Hi,

depends on your usecase. every IGenerator generates Text in the first place. for xbase a IDerivedStateComputer aka JvmModelInferrer translates the dsl model to a java model (m2m) that is then translated to java text code. of course you can create whatever text you want, but generating xtend code makes only limited sense (since it has to be translated to java anyway)

The idea of generating xtend vs xtext was that the language is way more expressive. I was wondering if there was any easy way to do that. Thanks for the answer!
