Customized Code Generation [message #1000396]

I love the graphical design aspect of eTrice.

I was wondering if there is a way to get at how the code generation works so that I could have it generate code in other languages (Insense in my case) besides Java?

Hi Alexander,

we currently have generators for C, Java and C++ (the latter one as a prototype).
All three make use of generic generator parts from o.e.e.generator.
And all generators benefit from the transformed and aggregated ROOM model called generator model (o.e.e.core.genmodel).

I have updated our published documentation to the current version.
The last chapter gives a little overview about the architecture of eTrice and gives some details about the components:
http://eclipse.org/etrice/documentation/doc/etrice.html#eTriceDevelopersReference

Besides that I would like to create an example in our wiki how to get started with a new generator.
I will add a further comment here as soon as I've completed this.

I have created this example.
See our wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ETrice/Development/GettingStartedWithEtrice#Deriving_from_an_Existing_Generator

It describes how a generator can be derived from an existing one.

If the task on the other hand is creating a generator for a new language one should start with a plug-in that has a main method
and a Guice module similar to that of the Java or the C generator.

Sorry for the lack of more documentation for developers.
But we are happy about every question related to this on our newsgroup.
We would like to learn which kinds of re-use and extensibility is used by our adopters.
