Hi,
I have started to research/try how to rewrite my xpand templates to xtend2 for the EMFT Texo project. A user of Texo can
provide their own templates to override or extend existing templates.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Texo/Template_Overriding

At runtime I check the development project to see if there are templates in the development project itself in specific
locations and use these instead/in addition to the Texo templates.

With xtend2 the templates are all in java. What could be a first thing to look at to see how I can support dynamic
template extension?

Hi Martin,

with Xtend you would likely use Guice anyway. The default generator would provide a runtime module. Since Xtend templates are Java classes you usually don't need to configure them explicitly and would usually inject instances of the known template classes in the generator. If now customizations are required the user would provide a customized Guice module which would bind the template class to exchange by the custom implementation.

Best wishes,
~Karsten
