Acceleo Maven

Acceleo Maven compilation plugin. Tweaks on original plugin (released by Obeo) to enable registration of .ecore files for .mtl compilation.

Installation

In org.eclipse.acceleo.maven folder, just use:

mvn clean install

Pom.xml Configuration

The Acceleo Maven must be added to project pom.xml

...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.acceleo</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.2</version>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  </build>

Plugin configuration is the same as the original Acceleo Maven Compilation plugin with minor addition. You can indicate where the .ecore should be found. By default, .ecore file are always searched in the current project (on the whole project).

<groupId>org.eclipse.acceleo</groupId>
<artifactId>maven</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
  <ecoreImports>
	  <ecoreImport>
		  <root>my_directory</root>
			<inputs>
			  <input>src/main/java</input>
			</inputs>
		</ecoreImport>
	</ecoreImports>
</configuration>

This snippet add the project root "my_directory" as a .ecore project container and more precisely the "src/main/java" project folder.

Here is another exemple of a full configuration:

<groupId>org.eclipse.acceleo</groupId>
<artifactId>maven</artifactId>
<version>3.2.2</version>
<configuration>
  <failOnError>true</failOnError>
  <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> 
    <packageToRegister>org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EcorePackage</packageToRegister>
  </packagesToRegister>
  <ecoreImports>
	  <ecoreImport>
		  <root>my_directory</root>
			<inputs>
			  <input>src/main/java</input>
			</inputs>
		</ecoreImport>
	</ecoreImports>
</configuration>
