Using Xtext and Code Generator without Runtime [message #1478261]

Hi everybody,

I have developed a dsl and a generator for this dsl to generate some java files.
Now I want to use this generator to generate the java files but according a special file which must be an input and it must be available without Eclipse Runtime Version or Workbench.

Parisa

Create a main class that reads your DSL files and invoke the generator. Then create a launch configuration. With the export wizard you can generate an executable Jar.

Alternatively provide a MWE2 workflow that does the process mentioned above. Then create a launch config for class org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.launch.runtime.Mwe2Launcher. Proceed like above.

Hi,

(1) adapt the generatorFragment in the workflow to create a java main

fragment = generator.GeneratorFragment auto-inject {
    			generateJavaMain = true
    		}

(2) regenerate the language. you find now a java main generated for the generator (you may use this one or adapt it for your needs)
(3) run the main once in eclipse
(4) use the export -> java -> runnable jar file wizard to create a all in one jar

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help. I have done till step 3. How can I run main? it needs a EMF Resource. What should I sent to this method as parameter?

Actually I have changed the main method like following:

public static void main(String[] args) {
		String s="C:\\ ... \\org.xtext.example.pro1\\pro1\\pro1.pro1";
		//if (args.length==0) {
		//	System.err.println("Aborting: no path to EMF resource provided!");
		//	return;
		//}
		Injector injector = new org.xtext.example.mydsl.Pro1StandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
		Main main = injector.getInstance(Main.class);
		
		main.runGenerator(s);
	}

but I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create a resource for 'c:\ ... \org.xtext.example.pro1\pro1\pro1.pro1'; a registered resource factory is needed
	at org.eclipse.xtext.resource.XtextResourceSet.getResource(XtextResourceSet.java:198)

and pro1.pro1 ist the file which I have created in Runtime Workbench.

hi,

are you sure the file extension of your dsl is pro1?
and the uri should be file:///c:.... i think

Hi,

Yes I have generated pro1.pro1 file myself and I generated all java files which I need with this Model and my generator (But all of them in runtime).

I have only copied pro1.pro1 from my runtime workbench and pased it in a folder in my xtext project because I want to run it without runtime.

Want I want to have is following:
I want to do a Rightclick on a xml file in my project and select an option for example "Generate File".
and then the dsl that I have developed can make a model from this xml file and then generate all the java files that I need. Smile

sorry but that should work. can you try this with a brand new mydsl project? the Pro1StandaloneSetup should have registered the resource factory.
can you post the content of the generated base class of Pro1StandaloneSetup

This is my Pro1StandaloneSetup.java

/*
* generated by Xtext
*/
package org.xtext.example.mydsl;

/**
 * Initialization support for running Xtext languages 
 * without equinox extension registry
 */
public class Pro1StandaloneSetup extends Pro1StandaloneSetupGenerated{

	public static void doSetup() {
		new Pro1StandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration();
	}
}

I have find it out if I paste my pro1.pro1 or sample.mydsl in the root directory of the project then main method can work fine.

sorry without any reproducable example i cannot help.
did you debug your igenerator as i suggested?

Yes, I have done the four steps wich you suggested. I have called the mydsl.jar file and sent the name of sample.mydsl file as argument.
But nothing happened.

Hi,

as i cannot reproduce this with the xtext hello world example i cannot tell what goes wrong in your example.
either you share your complete code or have to debug the problem yourself.
try it with the hello world example yourself. then have a look what is different in your case.

Hi,

Thanks a lot. I can now generate what I need without runtime. Smile

Is there a Handbook about Xtext?
For example for what I wanted to do, I thought that I must write a lot to do it but with your suggestion I have done it very easier than I thought.

Where I can find this documentations?

Hi,

i am not sure what you are talking about.
there is http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation.html
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Xtext/FAQ
a tons of blogs
and Lorenzo Bettinis Book "Implementing Domain-Specific Languages with Xtext and Xtend"
but i dont know if they cover this topic

in general for advanced stuff you have to look at the code
