Hello together,
I want to migrate a internal project form xtext 2.8.4 to 2.13.0.

In the first step i modified the mwe2 Workflow. I have switched from deprecated org.eclipse.xtext.generator.Generator to the new org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.generator.XtextGenerator.

At the end i have one topic where i have no idea how to solve it.

In the existing version of the dsl, the project name is a little bit different to the grammar name.

In the grammar we are using com.xx_companyname.mydsl . The project names are com.xx-companyname.my.

With the old generator there was no problem with this difference. With the new XtextGenerator for the most of the generated classes, the package is fine and it is used from the grammar definition. But for the Activator in the UI project the project name is used. So at the end, the generator produces a invalid package name. Also the name of the Activator looks different like before. In the version 2.8.4 the last segment from the grammar name was used. Now it is the last segment from the project name.

Is there a possibility to configure the generator in a different way to get the correct package name?
