Reusing code generated but not yet compiled (and without POM) #221

Closed nicolasferry closed 6 years ago

Hey hey,

I have a strange use case and I am not sure this is a good practice but still I am wondering if it is feasible.

I have a set of Java files (a client for SMOOL) that are generated by a tool. These are not compiled and there is nothing like a pom.xml generated. From my side I want to use this code as part of a ThingML model. So I was wondering if there is a way to move these files together with the code generated by ThingML so that they would be compiled together.

Cheers

Hi,

I guess we can define an annotation @src "path to folder corresponding to the root package" and copy its content to the src folder of the code we generate from ThingML. I can have a look at that tomorrow. Then all the code should be compiled together. I guess we can even have this path relative, so as if this external code is generate close to the ThingML src, we can have portable path with ../ext/myRootPackage or similar.

Would that be OK?

Cheers,

Brice.

Yes, I sounds like it would do it. Thanks!
