Hi,

i have a small problem. After creating a acceleo 3.x project my generate java file (file with main method) will always be overwritten with the standard file. I have these problem after changing and saving a template.

Example:

My changed generation java file looks like:

Hi Malk,

I didn't read your code (I assume it works) but if you want to create a custom Java class to launch the generation and if you want to prevent Acceleo from overriding that class, just remove the "[comment @main]".

This comment has only one goal: create a basic Java class to launch the generation. If you want you can programmatically call the module of your choice with the template of your choice with the EObject of your choice.

Our basic class just launch the module and the template (from which it has been created) and then load the EMF model at the given uri (the arguments of the main method). If you want to change it, to for example integrate it in a tool or to generate code from an EObject in memory instead of a serialized EMF model, have fun.

Or you can just create a Java class with a different name Smile

Stephane Begaudeau, Obeo.
