Problem Importing Other Languages [message #1033802]

Hi,

I had a problem with the GenerateDSL-Workflow especially with registering the genModel files in our development environment. I have found a sort of workaround but would like to know if there's a better way:

Our Xtext languages are built with maven and therefore are structured like maven projects (src/main/java etc. and target/classes as output dir). In the mwe2 file I wanted to register the genModel files as follows:

...
registerGeneratedEPackage = "com.myCompany.package.myDSL.MyDSLPackage"
registerGenModelFile = "platform:/resource/com.myCompany.package.myDSL/com/myCompany/package/MyDSL.genmodel"
...

With this config I always got the error that the path is unmapped.
I debugged the thing and found out that the org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup#setScanClassPath method should register the project (com.myCompany.package.myDslDSL) and allow the workflow to find the genmodel file.
But this does not work because of the way it handles project references:

...
else if (!scanFolder(f)) {
        // eclipse bin folder?
	File dotProject = new File(f.getParentFile(), ".project");
	if (dotProject.exists())
		registerProject(dotProject);
}
...

In our case the given classpath entry is not the eclipse bin folder but the target/classes folder and therefore it is not sufficient to just go one directory up. I hooked in a custom StandaloneSetup for testing were i simple did the following.

	
...
   File dotProject = new File(f.getParentFile().getParentFile(), ".project");
...

And this did the trick. The .project file is found and the project gets successfully registered and and the genmodel file is found.

Now i'm asking if this is a bug resp. missing feature in the StandaloneSetup or if there's a configuration possibility that I'm missing.

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards,
Carlo

Hi,

thanks for your hint, but the problem is that the projects that I want to import are not in the same root folder as the project I'm executing the workflow in.

Therefore I need to have the setScanClassPath method to register my project. But unfortunately this can't handle the target/classes folder.
