I've created an ECore moel for handling FpML, but due to the size of the model the "Initialize by Loading" setting has to be set true as per this snippet from the book:
| Quote: | Initialize By Loading--This property controls whether the metadata for a package is initialized by generated code in the package implementation class or is loaded dynamically from an .ecore file. This capability is automatically enabled by default for larger models, so as to avoid generating methods in the package
implementation class that exceed Java's 64Kb size limit.
|
This is all well and good, and works fine in my test project. However, I'm then running a build to put all the generated .class files into a jar, and have a separate project that imports that jar along with the required EMF jars.
Now where I'm stuck, is that this stand-alone project (which runs outside of eclipse) needs to be able to reference the .ecore file to do the dynamic generation. I tried blindly just putting the .ecore file in the same folder as my generated jar file and adding it to my classpath, but this doesn't appear to work. Having searched the web I've seen people talking about putting it in a "bin" folder, but I don't have a bin folder as I'm not running this in eclipse at all, but as a standalone.
Where do I need to put the .ecore file (fpml.ecore in my case), and/or how do I tell the system where to find it?
Ideally I'd like to incorporate it into the jar file if that's possible, so my stand-alone project doesn't have to know about it at all and can just load the one jar file.
Many thanks
Toby

So you'll need to put the .ecore into your jar as well.

It needs to be in the same folder in the same jar as the generated
XyzPackageImpl. I.e., treat it like a *.properties resource.

Normally that file is copied to the bin folder and you create your final
jar by copying the contents of the bin to the root of the jar...

If you put it in the right place (relative of the XyzPackageImpl.class)
it should be found.

Yes, that should work nicely.
