Custom Code Generator for itemis CREATE Example

itemis CREATE (formerly YAKINDU Statechart Tools) is shipped with powerful code generators for most common programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java™, and Python. There are also generators available for SCXML and others. But sometimes it maybe necessary to create a custom code generator to support custom frameworks. You can use this example to kick-start your custom generator project.

Setup

• Import the project 'org.yakindu.generator.custom' into your workspace. Since the Generator is written in Xtend, you need an Eclipse with Xtext SDK installed. (I used Eclipse 2020-12 with Xtext 2.24)
• Open file 'latest.target' and set it as active target platform.
• Right click the project and select 'Run As -> Eclipse Application'
• In the runtime workspace, import the project 'Example'
• Right-click the file 'Genmodel.sgen' and select 'Generate Code Artifacts'
