Avoid generated editor code in Xcore [message #1832045]

Hello all,

I am on using the xcore generated model and edit code in another UI Framework then Eclipse UI Framework. I put all the generated mode and edit code in a same project. Is there a way deativate generation of the editor directly in xcore model?

Or should I delete the editor plugin each time I save the xcore model?

What are the best practises for this?

Best regards
Dimg

What @GenModel annotations do you have? I expect the *.edit and *.editor projects to be generated only if the *.xcore is specifically annotated for that purpose. In a normal *.genmodel, setting the project folder (edit/editor) to the empty string disables it, and such annotations are also available in *.xcore models (and can be added via the Properties view when the package declaration is selected).

This works thank you, but why does the generation of the .model and .edit added the org.eclipse.core.runtime plugin the dependency? This should be not required by the edit and model plugin?

Given that all models depend on Ecore and that org.eclipse.emf.core and org.eclipse.emf.common depend on the org.eclipse.core.runtime (optional greedy), it matters not much whether it's added or not, there is still such a dependency. You can remove it if you don't feel it's explicitly necessary.
