I read that topic, and the MWE documentation
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=161471& amp; amp;start=0&

Still, some things are not clear to me.

I see you can declare Properties, which references to a property file, or defines a simple property.

but can you modify the workflow to add parameters to it's execution ?
By parameters, I mean adding options to the generation, defining if you generate all your code in the same file, or change the generated packages name, how many of them there are, and so on.

thanks

One day I shall master M2T, but that day has yet to come...

Please look at the chapter 'Controlling the Workflow' inside the MWE documentation.
You will see that you can define aspects (further documentation of aspects, please refer the Xpand documentation). With aspects you can 'redefine'
tempaltes or extensions (e.g. the extension providing the package name).

Also you can switch on/off components in your workflow using:

<workflow>
<property  file ="features.properties"/>
 ...
  <if cond="${feature}">
    <component name=".../>
  </if>	
  ...
</workflow>

and a 'feature.properties'

feature=true

Darius

You can simply pass parameters to a workflow, which will override any
local properties.
