Prevent generation of DocumentRoot Java class [message #1228136]

I have defined an UML model and both generate Java classes and XSDs. In order to have a <xsd:element> as the root in the XSDs, I have defined a DocumentRoot class for each XSD I generate. I followed the documentation in "EMF, Eclipse Modeling Framework Second Edition". That works fine.

But when I generate the Java classes, a set of DocumentRoot classes follow with them; I don't need them. How can I prevent their generation?

About the environment: The model is being used as the canonical model in a high performance integration layer, so we decided to remove all EMF dependencies in the Java code, something I am managing by editing the *.javajet classes.

Thanks.

You do need them if you want to serialize instances that conform to the
schema.

What are you doing about other things like the package and factory class
that are generated?

Thanks for quick reply Ed, and happy new year.

On the serialization: The model's Java classes are used deep in the integration layer by specialized conversion tools while the XSDs are used in the interfaces: so I never serialize the java objects.

On the package and factory classes: I am evaluating to remove them with a maven ant-task right after generation.

Regards.

Jorge,

I suppose then you can use such a task to delete other unwanted things
too...
