Generated files in xtext with xbase

Question

I followed this tutorial: https://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/documentation/104_jvmdomainmodel.html , but the generated files are.java, I want to change the file extension as well as the grammar, but I want to keep some java features. Also the class DomainmodelGenerator extends AbstractGenerator does not get generated when I use grammar org.example.domainmodel.Domainmodel with org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.Xbase , only if I use terminals. How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

If you use Xbase then, JvmModelGenerator will be used as IGenerator(2) . So you have to customize that one and override org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.DefaultXbaseRuntimeModule.bindIGenerator() for binding. But also triple check if you really want to customize the generator and not enhance the inferrer
