Hi,

I am trying to get comfort with xtend2 and we are migrating a project from xpand to xtend2.

In xpand, we have 'type system' expression as follows:

{{{

«DEFINE Include_H FOR AUTOSAR::EcucDefs::Com»

}}}

We would like to derieve the similar type-systems in xtend2 i.e. in .xtend templates. Could you please point me if already supported in xtend2 or should i need to write similar wrappers in xtend2?. Also, how easy i can do this. If the migration is required, any documentation is of great help.

Regards,
Hari

Hi,

there is not reflective type system.
thus you need physical wrappers

are these wrappers for param defs or for param values?
if it is for param values:

artop can generate xtend wrapper classes as well) they can then be used by the generator.
the generator can be found here: https://www.artop.org/gitweb/?p=development/ecuc;a=tree;f=aal/examples;h=b67a74e48bd51cfdaeaaabb60d52135e7aa7b826;hb=HEAD
the generated code here: https://www.artop.org/gitweb/?p=development/ecuc;a=tree;f=aal/plugins/org.artop.ecuc.autosar421.accessors;h=769035652163d0abee9f6c6be5c17f5932e03db6;hb=HEAD
i dont know if it already ships them

you can then wrap ecucmoduleconfigvalues into one of it default occurrences

Hi Christian,

Thanks for update and it's really a good pointer for me to start with.

Currently, I am struggling to run the plugins from the links provided by you due to dependency issues. Any simple steps to work with these plugins / resolve dependency without any compilation issues?

OR

How can i replicate the same setup at my place that the developers are having at artop? OR can i get any ready made setup to simple import these plugins and run?. I am sure Artext will not suffice the purpose.

Hi,

did you have a look if artop already contains these plugins? org.artop.ecuc.autosar421.accessors

if so you should be ablte to install them through eclipse update (p2)
(and add them to your target platform so that everybody gets it)

I have verified all variants of artop, 'org.artop.ecuc.autosar421.accessors' is not part of any variant.

P.S: maybe that is something you should directly ask to artop

It will be the good option. to use this, 'org.artop.ecuc.autosar421.accessors' has dependency on 'org.artop.ecuc.gautosar.accessors.lib'.

and this lib plugin is missing IWrapper (import org.eclipse.sphinx.emf.util.IWrapper) interface. Which means, w.r.t. spinx installation, i have a version mis-match between the accessor plugins and the installation which i have locally.

As you suggested, i tried sending the mails and bouncing with following error message: Any help on which mail id i should send.

'sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1) '
{{{
membership@artop.org (membership@artop.org)
development@artop.org (development@artop.org)
artext@artop.org (artext@artop.org)
}}}
