Create simple standalone application with generator [message #884000]

Good evening everyone Smile

I'm currently trying to get a standalone application, which uses my parser and generator to generate a file, working. I would like to have a simple application.jar file, which expects the language file as the first argument.

i found different solutions on the internet but none worked with my project setup (xtext 2.2.1 and xtend 2.2.1).

maybe someone can give me a hint, how to read the file, parse it and fire the generator maybe out of an java application?

best regards,
egger

Hi,

where is the problem?
(1) create new Xtext project
(2) change workflow to

 fragment = generator.GeneratorFragment {
                generateMwe = false
                generateJavaMain = true
            }

(3) Generate Language
(4) Implement Generator
(5) Run the org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator.Main once
(6) use the Export -> Java -> Runnable Jar File Wizard
