say I have a model element named Entity and I want to generate 2 java classes out of it:

EntityBase.java which should be stored in /src-gen
Entity.java which should be stored in /src, if it does not exist yet (and extend EntityBase)

in the AbstractModelInferrer I can add e.g. 2 new classes via the the JvmTypesBuilder. But how do I define to which directories the files are saved to?

I hope someone can point me in the right direction: i.e.

the OutputConfigurationProvider looks quite promising, but how do I configure this? - via the mwe2 file?
must extend JvmModelGenerator and make my own generator?
is there maybe an example somewhere?
