Hi Shahim,
For the first question you are the first to ask so therefore there is no wiki entry about it.. :-). For generating the
in-memory orm model from an ecore metamodel, check out this method:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/texo/org.eclipse.emf.texo.git/tree/generator/org.eclipse.emf.texo.orm/src/org/eclipse/emf/texo/orm/annotator/ORMGenerator.java#n128
the generateStoreORM method, so it takes less than 10 lines of code to generate orms and have them represented
in-memory, if you use an annotation model then it is important to read the epackages in the correct way (the annotations
model are searched in the same place as where the ecore is read from).
This test method gives a good feel for how to do that:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/texo/org.eclipse.emf.texo.git/tree/tests/org.eclipse.emf.texo.orm.test/src/org/eclipse/emf/texo/orm/test/ORMGeneratorTest.java#n91
See the launch configs here for what Texo uses in its test runs (to generate orms):
http://git.eclipse.org/c/texo/org.eclipse.emf.texo.git/tree/tests/org.eclipse.emf.texo.orm.test
For generating java code, Texo needs an eclipse running, possibly in headless mode, Texo also needs a workspace with a
dev project to generate the source code, but other than that you can call a generator for that:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/texo/org.eclipse.emf.texo.git/tree/tests/org.eclipse.emf.texo.modelgenerator.test/src/org/eclipse/emf/texo/modelgenerator/test/EclipseModelGeneratorTest.java
Note that the generator must run in an eclipse instance (headless is possible) with a workspace which contains a java
development project, see the launch configs here as an example:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/texo/org.eclipse.emf.texo.git/tree/tests/org.eclipse.emf.texo.modelgenerator.test/
There is a ModelAnnotatorRegistry which you can use to override the default annotators implemented by Texo, so in that
way you create/add custom annotations. But this is quite deep into the Texo code...
Let me know if you have any more questions/remarks;

Hi Shahim,
I noticed this plugin:
http://www.ant4eclipse.org/userguide-executors
which seems to make it possible to run launch configs, maybe this can be combined with the current code of Texo
generation to programmatically generate stuff.

Hi Shahim,
Generating the orm.xml should be possible outside of an eclipse instance. I can probably easily change that if currently
somehow the ide is required. It is generating code where the ide is used as the code generation uses several features
from the jdt to do import resolving and code formatting, even then, you can run eclipse in headless mode, which is
basically the same as any java program (afaiu). In fact that's what the test cases of Texo do, run eclipse headless, the
Texo build is an ant script which runs eclipe in headless mode and generates code and everything else.
Note that at runtime you don't need to have Eclipse ide running at all, you just need a few jar files. Here is an
example tomcat web project with Texo:

Martin, thank you for your quick and detailed responses. I really appreciate it.
I have not tried to run Eclipse in headless mode or in any unit tests before. I'll do some reading and then look at the examples you were referring to.
I think the current ORMGenerator does require an instance of Eclipse. I was trying to understand a null pointer exception when I tried it yesterday. It appears the exception is due to not finding needed plugins or other resources in the Eclipse registry, or something like that. I assumed this means that the Eclipse runtime has to be available to generate the ORM.
Again, thank you!
All the best,
Shahim

Okay, let me know if you know more if it is a missing plugin/jar or indeed that it expects a workspace being there. For
the in-memory orm generation it should officially not be needed to have eclipse. But I did not explicitly thought about
it when doing the code...
Texo uses launch configs for starting eclipse, maybe these can be somehow packaged in a runnable product. I don't know
much/anything about this though...

Hi Pradeep,
Hmm, is the workspace cleared at each testrun? (a checkbox below the workspace location in the launch config)
It should not be cleared.
Can you put a breakpoint where it fails and then go into a file explorer and check that the project exists at the
location your expecting?
How do you place the project in the workspace? You need to open the workspace in the IDE and add the project there and
then close the IDE. So copying the project in the workspace through a file explorer won't work (if you are doing that
ofcourse).
