[ACCELEO] Dynamic templates generator deployment [message #1000348]

Hi,

I try to deploy an overridden generator (EEF generator customized with dynamic templates) as a plugin...
But in vain... I succeed in launching my generator in a second instance of Eclipse Application, but deploying the generator as a plugin does not work (only the base EEF generator is launched).

I did not find specific information about deploying such extended generators... Did I miss something ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
kind regards
Romain

Hi,

If you open the jar of your plugin built:
1- do you have the ".emtl" files (compiled mtl files)? If no, have a look at the documentation to build your generator with maven.
2- if you open the plugin.xml file, have you declared the path of the folder containing your dynamic modules?

Regards,

Hi Stéphane,

Thank you for your response that helped me to understand better the problem nature...

Actually, in my plugin.xml, I reference the modules path with something like :

<templates path="src/folders/subfolders/mymodulesrootfolder"/>

But when exported as a plugin, the src folder is not here anymore ! In my exported jar plugin, .emtl files can be found next to .class files, in the folder "folders/subfolders/mymodulesrootfolder"...

So I tried to reference the path with "folders/subfolders/mymodulesrootfolder" (trimming the "src/"), but it does not work (+ warning in my plugin.xml, because this path does not exist in the development environment, and my generator modules are never called).

I also tried to export my src folder with the build.properties, but unfortunately, .emtl files are not exported by PDE in the src folder...

Is there another way to reference the path, or to include .emtl files in the src/ folder of a deployed generator plugin ?

Thanks in advance,
kind regards
Romain

When exporting feature (or plugin), the acceleo builder strangely do not compile mtl files with links to the extended templates.
I had it worked without Maven by enabling the option "Use class files compiled in the workspace" in options tab when exporting my feature (or plugin).
