XPand2 extension problem [message #896688]

Hello everyone,

I'm running an MWE workflow with an Xpand2 generator in it.
Here's the important part of the .mwe file:

	<component id="generator" class="org.eclipse.xpand2.Generator" skipOnErrors="true">
		<metaModel class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.emf.EmfMetaModel"> 
			<metaModelPackage  value="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EcorePackage"/> 
		</metaModel> 
		
	 	<metaModel class="org.eclipse.xtend.typesystem.uml2.UML2MetaModel">
  	  	</metaModel>   
    
	  	<expand value="Root::Root FOR model"/>
	  	<fileEncoding value="ISO-8859-1"/>
	  	<outlet path="${baseDir}src-gen">
	   		<postprocessor class="org.eclipse.xpand2.output.JavaBeautifier"/>
	  	</outlet>
	</component>

... and in the Root.xpt file, the first line is this one:

«EXTENSION template::GeneratorExtensions»

Finally, the file "template/GeneratorExtensions.ext" looks like this:

String xmiID(emf::EObject x) :
	JAVA template.Extensions.xmiId(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject);
String typename(emf::EObject x) :
	JAVA template.Extensions.dataTypeName(org.eclipse.uml2.uml.Type);
Boolean isSuperClass(emf::EObject x) :
	JAVA template.Extensions.isSuperClass(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject) ;
Boolean isNameOfPrimitivType(String x) :
	JAVA template.Extensions.isNameOfPrimitivType(java.lang.String) ;

Now, the problem is that whenever I try to call one of the methods described in the GeneratorExtensions.ext file, I get an exception which looks like this:

[ERROR] Generator - template.Extensions.isSuperClass(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject) not found, problems were:
[AnalysationIssueType not found] - Couldn't find Java type template.Extensions : template.Extensions
<EvaluationException : template.Extensions.isSuperClass(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject) not found, problems were:
[AnalysationIssueType not found] - Couldn't find Java type template.Extensions : template.Extensions

template::GeneratorExtensions.ext[200,111] on line 5 'Boolean isSuperClass(emf::EObject x)'

Does anybody have an idea why the extension cannot be resolved correctly? The extension file is stored in "ProjectRoot/template/GeneratorExtensions.ext", so the generator should find it... Or do I need to add it in a particular way to my project?

If it is of any relevance, I'm running this code in a standalone Java application outside Eclipse.

Any help or hint on this would be appreciated, I'm really stuck here...

Thanks,

Alan

Hi,

alright, I'm feeling rather stupid now. To preserve my "honor" as a programmer: I did not write the workflow code - I'm just porting it into a different application. And the one who created this obviously forgot to tell me that I need an implementation class here, too. I'm sorry, Christian. Thank you for your response, though, that totally nailed it and it works now Smile

Greets,

Alan
