I've just discovered Texo and i'm wondering how to generate pojo classes from an ecore model programmatically ? If someone can give me a lead on this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I can give you some pointers but the Texo code generation requires some specific parts of the eclipse IDE to do import
resolving and code formatting, in addition Texo requires a java project to generate code into. As part of the test run
Texo generates code using an eclipse headless run and a ready to use workspace. In all it is pretty doable to set this
up, but it is not as easy as calling Texo directly from an ant script.

The Texo model generator test project is available in cvs here:
dev.eclipse.org
/cvsroot/modeling
org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf.texo/tests/org.eclipse.emf.t exo.modelgenerator.test

The actual test code to generate is fairly simple:

final ModelController modelController = new ModelController();
modelController.setEPackages(ePackages);
modelController.annotate(new ArrayList<ModelAnnotator>());

final WorkFlowStarter wfs = new WorkFlowStarter();
wfs.generateModelCode(TEST_MODEL_PROJECT, ePackages, modelController, "src-test-gen"); //$NON-NLS-1$

where TEST_MODEL_PROJECT is the name of a java project in the workspace and src-test-gen the target folder in that
project. The ePackages is a list of EPackage instances, the modelController is a specific Texo class.

As an additional remark, the model generator test project contains launch configurations which run the model generator
for a certain workspace. Texo uses Buckminster in its build environment which makes it pretty easy to run launch
configurations.

Hi again,
I have another question if you don't mind, I need to modify some generation parameters (set the package path, use 'Lists' instead of 'Sets', no ModelFactory/ModelPackage classes ...) and i've seen that we can do this using annotations.
For a given ecore model, I'm using 'AnnotationModelGenerator' to generate programmatically an annotations model , so in the same way how can we annotate it ?
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks in advance.

Hi,
No problem at all, just ask what you want :-)

Before doing modelController.annotate(...) (but after setting its EPackages), do something like this:

final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0),
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI);

this will give you the code generation annotation on the EPackage (an EPackageModelGenAnnotation instance). You can set
all kinds of information on this which is then used during the code generation.
The same works for all model elements (EClass, EDataType, EStructuralFeature, etc.) which will return an instance of
their resp. annotation (EClassModelGenAnnotation, EAttributeModelGenAnnotation, etc.).

The ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI is used to filter which annotation to return (if the model was jaxb/orm annotated
this can be used to get the jaxb resp. orm annotation by passing the nsuri of their respective annotation models).

After your 'manual' settings of the annotation do the modelController.annotate(...) which will complete the annotation
model, while preserving/using your 'manual' changes.

After modelController.annotate(..) (and before calling the WorkFlowStarter) you can also change annotations, but at that
point all annotations have been generated. For example changing the package path in the packagemodelgenannotation (after
calling modelController.annotate(..)) won't change the qualified class name of eclassmodelgenannotations as these
annotations have already been computed.

btw, I noticed that if there are also annotation model files which are read then you can get epackage-not-found
exceptions. I had to make sure that the annotations model were initialized before getting the epackage model gen
annotation. Afaics this only happens if there are annotation model files (which are being read automatically) present.
If you don't have these then I think you won't be bothered by this

I had to add a few lines to get around this exception:

// code to prevent epackage not found exceptions:
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
OrmannotationsPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
OrmPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
JaxbmodelannotationsPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
// get the annotation you want
final List<EPackage> ePackages = GeneratorUtils.readEPackages(uris,
GeneratorUtils.createEPackageRegistry());

final ModelController modelController = new ModelController();
modelController.setEPackages(ePackages);

final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController
.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0),
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI);
System.err.println(annotation.getClass());
// do something great with the annotation here

modelController.annotate(new ArrayList<ModelAnnotator>());

final WorkFlowStarter wfs = new WorkFlowStarter();
wfs.generateModelCode(TEST_MODEL_PROJECT, ePackages,
modelController, "src-test-gen"); //$NON-NLS-1$

Thank you for your reply Martin, it's very helpful. It's just that I'm having a 'null' annotation when calling modelController.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0), ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI) . I presume he didn't find any annotation. Did I miss something ?

Hmm, I wonder why that happens, can you post some more code here (the part around/before the getAnnotation call)?

Here it is :

...
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();

List<URI> uris = new ArrayList<URI>();
uris.add(ecorePath.toFile().toURI());

final List<EPackage> ePackages = GeneratorUtils.readEPackages(uris,GeneratorUtils.createEPackageRegistry());

final ModelController modelController = new ModelController();
modelController.setEPackages(ePackages);
	    
final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0), ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI);
System.err.println(annotation.getClass());

modelController.annotate(new ArrayList<ModelAnnotator>());

WorkFlowStarter wfs = new WorkFlowStarter();
...

Sorry about that, in my case it worked because I had an annotation model file for the test case.

The one that works always is this one:

final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController.getAnnotationManager().getAnnotation(
ePackages.get(0),
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eINSTANCE
.getEPackageModelGenAnnotation());

The api is slightly different the annotationManager.getAnnotation() expects a ENamedElement and the EClass of the
annotation you want to get back.

Hmm, after some more testing it seems you will get a NPE later on. I will change the api a bit to make this easier to
work with.

Yaw :-), as Texo is somewhat new I am very interested in user feedback for improvements.

I published a new build a few mins back which solves the issue I encountered. The annotation you get back is empty (none
of its features is set). You can get a fully set annotation back by doing this first:
modelController.getAnnotationManager().addAnnotators(
ModelAnnotator.getCodeGenAnnotator());

before getting the annotation

btw, I noticed that if there are also annotation model files which are read then you can get epackage-not-found
exceptions. I had to make sure that the annotations model were initialized before getting the epackage model gen
annotation. Afaics this only happens if there are annotation model files (which are being read automatically) present.
If you don't have these then I think you won't be bothered by this

I had to add a few lines to get around this exception:

// code to prevent epackage not found exceptions:
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
OrmannotationsPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
OrmPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
JaxbmodelannotationsPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();
// get the annotation you want
final List<EPackage> ePackages = GeneratorUtils.readEPackages(uris,
GeneratorUtils.createEPackageRegistry());

final ModelController modelController = new ModelController();
modelController.setEPackages(ePackages);

final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController
.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0),
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI);
System.err.println(annotation.getClass());
// do something great with the annotation here

modelController.annotate(new ArrayList<ModelAnnotator>());

final WorkFlowStarter wfs = new WorkFlowStarter();
wfs.generateModelCode(TEST_MODEL_PROJECT, ePackages,
modelController, "src-test-gen"); //$NON-NLS-1$

Thank you for your reply Martin, it's very helpful. It's just that I'm having a 'null' annotation when calling modelController.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0), ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI) . Do you have any idea on what could be the cause ?

Hmm, I wonder why that happens, can you post some more code here (the part around/before the getAnnotation call)?

Here it is :

...
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI();

List<URI> uris = new ArrayList<URI>();
uris.add(ecorePath.toFile().toURI());

final List<EPackage> ePackages = GeneratorUtils.readEPackages(uris,GeneratorUtils.createEPack ageRegistry());

final ModelController modelController = new ModelController();
modelController.setEPackages(ePackages);

final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController.getAnnotation(ePackages.get(0), ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eNS_URI);
System.err.println(annotation.getClass());

modelController.annotate(new ArrayList<ModelAnnotator>());

WorkFlowStarter wfs = new WorkFlowStarter();
...

Sorry about that, in my case it worked because I had an annotation model file for the test case.

The one that works always is this one:

final ENamedElementAnnotation annotation = modelController.getAnnotationManager().getAnnotation(
ePackages.get(0),
ModelcodegeneratorPackage.eINSTANCE
.getEPackageModelGenAnnotation());

The api is slightly different the annotationManager.getAnnotation() expects a ENamedElement and the EClass of the
annotation you want to get back.

Hmm, after some more testing it seems you will get a NPE later on. I will change the api a bit to make this easier to
work with.

Yaw :-), as Texo is somewhat new I am very interested in user feedback for improvements.

I published a new build a few mins back which solves the issue I encountered. The annotation you get back is empty (none
of its features is set). You can get a fully set annotation back by doing this first:
modelController.getAnnotationManager().addAnnotators(
ModelAnnotator.getCodeGenAnnotator());

before getting the annotation
