Hello Acceleo community,
I have posted this topic another forum but I have discovered this one now and I find it more apropriate.

When trying to generate java code from an uml model with the acceleo maven plugin in standalone mode (without eclipse) I have the following error:
The generation failed to generate any file because there are no model elements that matches at least the type of the first parameter of one of your main templates. 
The problem may be caused by a problem with the registration of your metamodel, please see the method named "registerPackages" in the Java launcher of your generator. It could also come from a missing [comment @main/] 
in the template used as the entry point of the generation. 


I have downloaded the source of acceleo.
I have focused on the project/module : /org.eclipse.acceleo.maven.tests
I have just changed the following part in the pom to be sure the accelo plugin is called to compile the mlt files

<plugin>
				<groupId>org.eclipse.acceleo</groupId>
				<artifactId>org.eclipse.acceleo.maven</artifactId>
				<version>3.5.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<phase>compile</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>acceleo-compile</goal> XXXHEREXXXX
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<configuration> <useBinaryResources>false</useBinaryResources> <usePlatformResourcePath>true</usePlatformResourcePath> 
					<acceleoProject> <root>${project.basedir}</root> <entries> <entry> <input>src/main/java</input> 
					<output>target/classes</output> </entry> </entries> </acceleoProject> <packagesToRegister> 
					<packageToRegister>org.eclipse.uml2.uml.UMLPackage</packageToRegister> </packagesToRegister> 
					</configuration>
			</plugin>


The emlt files are well generated
Then I have create a second maven project with an uml model in it, the one of acceleo example.uml
I have called the plugin generated with the previous module

<plugin>
				<groupId>org.eclipse.acceleo</groupId>
				<artifactId>org.eclipse.acceleo.maven.launcher</artifactId>
				<version>3.5.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<phase>process-resources</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>acceleo-launcher</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
				<configuration>
					<!-- generatorClass>org.eclipse.acceleo.module.sample.main.Generate</generatorClass -->
					<generatorClass>org.eclipse.acceleo.module.example.uml2java.helios.GenerateJava</generatorClass>
					
					<model>${basedir}\src\main\model\example.uml</model>
					<outputFolder>${basedir}\src</outputFolder>
				</configuration>
				<dependencies>
					<dependency>
						<groupId>org.eclipse.acceleo</groupId>
						<artifactId>org.eclipse.acceleo.maven.tests</artifactId>
						<version>3.6.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
					</dependency>
				</dependencies>
			</plugin>


But I am getting everytime the error

[INFO] Generation completed.
The generation failed to generate any file because there are no model elements that matches at least the type of the first parameter of one of your main templates. 
The problem may be caused by a problem with the registration of your metamodel, please see the method named "registerPackages" in the Java launcher of your generator. It could also come from a missing [comment @main/] 
in the template used as the entry point of the generation.

I have checked that /org.eclipse.acceleo.maven.tests/src/main/java/org/eclipse/acceleo/module/example/uml2java/helios/generateJava.mtl

[comment @main /]


and that /org.eclipse.acceleo.maven.tests/src/main/java/org/eclipse/acceleo/module/example/uml2java/helios/GenerateJava.java

contains

        	System.out.println("kjkjaa");
            resourceSet.getPackageRegistry().put(org.eclipse.uml2.uml.UMLPackage.eINSTANCE.getNsURI(), org.eclipse.uml2.uml.UMLPackage.eINSTANCE);
        }

         * }

    }

Dear all,
finally I was able to compile the different official mtl files from org.eclipse.umlgen.gen.java
I also succeed to use the maven acceleo plugin
but when I try to generate the java code, I have only a scafold that do not compile at all.
very strange

For example, I have used the small example provided here:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/umlgen/org.eclipse.umlgen.git/tree/org.eclipse.umlgen.gen.java/tests/org.eclipse.umlgen.gen.java.tests/model/example.uml

I should have a Person.java class with several attributes like name etc..
I only get the following codes.


do you have any idea why?

/*******************************************************************************
 * File generated from the model::org.eclipse.acceleo.java::Person uml Class
 * Generated by the Acceleo 3 <i>UML to Java</i> generator.
 * Date: 27 novembre 2014 18:22:33 CET
 *******************************************************************************/
package org.eclipse.acceleo.java;

import ;
import java.util.Date;
// Start of user code (user defined imports)

// End of user code

/**
 * Description of Person.
 * 
 * @author 
 */
