Hi Guys,

I just read how to include templates out of an xml file to my Xtext plugin, but anyhow, it does not work. Therefore, I try to explain, what I have done. Hopefully someone can help me.

I created some templates out of the Window -> preferences page of my local eclipse-installation. Then I exported theese templates to an templates.xml.

I created a folder called templated in the org.xtext.xyz.mydsl.ui project, on the same directory level, as the src directory. I copied the templates.xml file inside it.

The content of my build.properties of the ui project looks like:

source.. = src/,\
          src-gen/
bin.includes = META-INF/,\
               .,\
               plugin.xml,\
               templates/

Have I somehow missed anything? I ran the mwe2 Workflow, generated the xtext artifacts and exported the plugin to the jar. files. When I include the file on another eclipse installation, the templates page in the preferences menu remains empty:-(

Thanks so far guys!

Hi have you codetemplatesgeneratorfragment added to the workflow and
did you merge plugin.XML_Gen and plugin.xml?

Thanks for your reply.

The codetemplatesgeneratorfragment is present in the workflow.

But I am wondering, because the plugin.xml_gen and plugin.xml have equal content.
Do you have any Idea?

Tim,

you have to add ID tags to the exported templates in the XML file. See
the reference docs for details.

Regards,
Sebastian
