Exporting Parser+Generator as standalone jar file [message #908976] Thu, 06 September 2012 10:34 Go to next message

Hi All,
I have developed a grammar of my language via Xtext and subsequently written the code generator via Xtend.
Now, I want others to design their systems following my language and automatically translate their models into another model via the generator.
One can easily do this by using my parser+generator as plugin to eclipse.
However, my main concern is to let others use my parser+generator as standalone jar file. So, they can download such a jar file into their desktop and simply click it to be able design their models in my language and do translatation with the generator.

So, could you please let me know the instructions to follow in order to export my xtext(and xtend) framework as standalone jar file ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi create a java main class that calls whatever you want and run it
once. Then use the export - java - runnable jar file wizard

Hi Christian,
First thanks a lot for the quick reply.
However, I would be glat if you let me know about any sample main class for this ? I mean that I do not have an idea about which class instance creates a lexer, which class instance creates a parser, which class instance creates the code generator, and how all of these are to be glued together ? That is, parser class instance is to receive as constructor input the tokens created by the lexer instance, and code genrator instance receives as input the parser the ast of the parser. However, which classes render these possible ?

Hi,

you can configure the generatorfragment to generate one for you.

I am afraid I do not have any idea how generator package is configured so that runnable plugins can be possible.
Can you try to put some details about it ?

As I said: have a look at the generator fragment in your language
workflow

Hi Christian,
To create my runnable jar file, I firstly created a new java launch configuration.
While creating Java launch configuration (via run Configurations-> Java Application -> new),
I specified the path of Main class as the path of the Main class in my Xtext project.
Then, for the project, I have selected "org.xtext.example.myProject".
For the arguments: -os ${target.os} -ws ${target.ws} -arch ${target.arch} -nl ${target.nl} -consoleLog .

Once I run this java configuration, I got the below error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for '-os'; a registered resource factory is needed
at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl.getResource(ResourceSetImpl.java:394)
at org.eclipse.xtext.resource.SynchronizedXtextResourceSet.getResource(SynchronizedXtextResourceSet.java:23)
at org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator.Main.runGenerator(Main.java:50)
at org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator.Main.main(Main.java:32)

I think that I need to manually register resource factory, which was previously handled by the StandaloneSetupGenerated.java class.
However, I have no idea how to perform the registration manually which is essential if one need to run the project as runnable jar file.

Would you please guide me on this ?

P.S: why do you have this -os ${target.os} -ws ${target.ws} -arch ${target.arch} -nl ${target.nl} -consoleLog .
stuff

this does not look like a java main class

Hi Christian,
I have just copied and pasted this from the arguments of the configuration that opens
eclipse editor when run. Do you think that I left the arguments empty for the Java Launch configuration ?


My Main.java has the following content:


public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length==0) {
System.err.println("Aborting: no path to EMF resource provided!");
return;
}
Injector injector = new org.xtext.example.mydsl.XcDStandaloneSetupGenerated().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
Main main = injector.getInstance(Main.class);
main.runGenerator(args[0]);
}

@Inject
private Provider<ResourceSet> resourceSetProvider;

@Inject
private IResourceValidator validator;

@Inject
private IGenerator generator;

@Inject
private JavaIoFileSystemAccess fileAccess;

protected void runGenerator(String string) {
// load the resource
ResourceSet set = resourceSetProvider.get();
Resource resource = set.getResource(URI.createURI(string), true);

// validate the resource
List<Issue> list = validator.validate(resource, CheckMode.ALL, CancelIndicator.NullImpl);
if (!list.isEmpty()) {
for (Issue issue : list) {
System.err.println(issue);
}
return;
}

// configure and start the generator
fileAccess.setOutputPath("src-gen/");
generator.doGenerate(resource, fileAccess);

System.out.println("Code generation finished.");
}
}

So, is what you are suggesting to add the following snippet inside the above main.java ? THe below snippet is obtained from "StandaloneSetupGenerated.java"

public Injector createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration() {
// register default ePackages
if (!Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().containsKey("ecore"))
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put(
"ecore", new org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.impl.EcoreResourceFactoryImpl());
if (!Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().containsKey("xmi"))
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put(
"xmi", new org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.impl.XMIResourceFactoryImpl());
if (!EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.containsKey(org.eclipse.xtext.XtextPackage.eNS_URI))
EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put(org.eclipse.xtext.XtextPackage.eNS_URI, org.eclipse.xtext.XtextPackage.eINSTANCE);

Injector injector = createInjector();
register(injector);
return injector;
}

public Injector createInjector() {
return Guice.createInjector(new org.xtext.example.mydsl.XcDRuntimeModule());
}

public void register(Injector injector) {
if (!EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.containsKey("...")) {
EPackage.Registry.INSTANCE.put("...", org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.MyDslPackage.eINSTANCE);
}

org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IResourceFactory resourceFactory = injector.getInstance(org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IResourceFactory.class);
org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IResourceServiceProvider serviceProvider = injector.getInstance(org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IResourceServiceProvider.class);
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xcd", resourceFactory);
org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IResourceServiceProvider.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("xcd", serviceProvider);
}

Hi these are for eclipse. Standalone you need simply a model file name

Hi Chris,
Yes, that is true. What I have written above was in fact for runnning parser as eclipse editor.
So to run as standalone, I simply specified a file name, i.e., main.runGenerator("model.mydsl"); .
Once I run the java launch configuration, it works fine. Indeed, both the parser and the code generator works as expected.
The next step is to export this java launch configuration as runnable jar file.
I can create this jar file through export option of eclipse. However, how can I run this on windows or linux so that
people can specify model in my language and automatically generate their code too.

Hi Chris,
Admit that it was totally a silly question, that is why I have found out the answer two minutes later than I posted -- so very sorry for this !!!

I have just run the runnable jar in linux. Although the parser and translator work correctly, an exception is thrown.

0 ERROR ResourceValidatorImpl - The string resource '_UI_DiagnosticRoot_diagnostic' could not be located
java.util.MissingResourceException: The string resource '_UI_DiagnosticRoot_diagnostic' could not be located

Code generation finished.

Do you have any idea about what it is or where it is derived from ?

Hello,
generator fragment created Main class for me. I can also export it as a jar file. Unfortunately, I am still getting following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'C:\\bbb.mydsl'; a registered resource factory is needed


Where and how can I register resource factory? I checked, that line
Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("mydsl", resourceFactory);

in the MyDslStandaloneSetupGenerated.java was called.

(I created new Xtext project with Greeting example, set "generateJavaMain = true" and expected that after .jar file is exported and called as "java -jar aaa.jar bbb.mysdl" it will work...)

Thank you & Best regards
Michal

Hello,

I have added this call into main function in Main class:
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		if (args.length==0) {
			System.err.println("Aborting: no path to EMF resource provided!");
			return;
		}
		Injector injector = new org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDslStandaloneSetupGenerated().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
		Main main = injector.getInstance(Main.class);
		MyDslStandaloneSetup.doSetup();
		main.runGenerator(args[0]);
	}


But the problem is present anyway.
I try also call Main from Eclipse (Run as -> Java application). I set Program arguments to: "C:\bbb.mydsl" (and this file exists...)

I don't understand, what happens, when you say it works out of the box for you...

Thank you for any hint.
Best regards
Michal

Hi here is what I do
1 create new project with wizard
2 set generateJavaMain to true and run workflow
3 run the main class (as java app)

I am lost in this, I did exactly the same you wrote.
I just added "C:\bbb.mydsl" to Program arguments in Run Configurations, otherwise it falls on "Aborting: no path to EMF resource provided!"
I use Xtext 2.2.1 but I don't think it matters.

Result (unfortunately):
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'C:\bbb.mydsl'; a registered resource factory is needed
	at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.resource.impl.ResourceSetImpl.getResource(ResourceSetImpl.java:394)
	at org.eclipse.xtext.resource.SynchronizedXtextResourceSet.getResource(SynchronizedXtextResourceSet.java:23)
	at org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator.Main.runGenerator(Main.java:51)
	at org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator.Main.main(Main.java:33)
