Dear readers,

I need to run the Texo tools (ecore conversion to java/ orm.xml) but outside of eclipse ...

These are the functions callable inside the menu Texo.

The goal is to run them in a sort of batch application.

Can you give me some pointers where to look at for these inside the huge eclipse source code.

Thanks in advance for you comments.

Jean

Hi Jean,
Running outside of eclipse is difficult as Texo uses eclipse functionality for merging and source formatting. But that
does not mean you cann't run generation actions from the command line (ant). The texo build also runs through ant and it
also generates from ecore models. I don't know your environment or goal but if the idea is to setup a build-like
environment then the texo build script can be a good basis. I find this an interesting case, so if I can help to set it
up them that's fine. Let me know if this is indeed what you mean, then I can provide some more details.

Hello Martin,

Thanks a lot you quick answer.

Yes it is this way I think about using Texo. That is to say running some ant script to get the work done without having to use eclipse.

Your details would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Jean

Hi Jean,
Here you are:

Texo uses buckminster for running the build, buckminster downloads projects from cvs/svn and takes care of building and
running junit tests in an eclipse environment. Buckminster can take some to get used but there is good documentation and
great support on the buckminster newsgroup. See also the wiki page at the bottom.

The texo build consists of 3 steps:

1: download from cvs and build the plugins used for generating artifacts and texo runtime
2: generate artifacts:
- creates a new eclipse environment with these plugins
- downloads ecore models from cvs and generates code inside a plugin
- build this generated code, creates a plugin
3: test
- installs eclipse with the texo runtime plugins (from step 1) and the generated artifacts plugins (from step 2)
- run testcases

The build can be seen here:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/emft-texo-nightly/

It is very easy to run the texo build locally
just do this:
1) cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/modeling co -d org.eclipse.emf.texo.releng.buckminster
org.eclipse.emf/org.eclipse.emf.texo/releng/org.eclipse.emf. texo.releng.buckminster
2) go into the downloaded directory org.eclipse.emf.texo.releng.buckminster
3) do: ant

The build takes about 20 mins, the whole build setup is done in the org.eclipse.emf.texo.releng.buckminster project.

Here is a wiki page on the build setup of Teneo which uses a similar setup as Texo:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Teneo/Teneo_Build_Setup
