Hi

can the ResourceCreationTask be used for creating a directory after
projects are imported in the workspace? I need to create directories in
the imported projects...

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

Hi,

is creating a dummy file (which is not under version control) an option? As a side effect the directory would be created.

Need training, onsite consulting or any other kind of help for Xtext?

Indeed something like that

<setupTask
xsi:type="setup:ResourceCreationTask"
content="empty"
targetURL="/my.project/adirectory/afile.txt"/>

does the trick

since it was not clear to me: you need to refer to projects in the
workspace thus the / does NOT refer to root of the filesystem, but to
the workspace, as it is in a platform resource uri.

cheers
Lorenzo

You could have used a file URL for an absolute location, but in general this is not what you would want to do in a setup file. Using variables, you have access e.g. to the installation location or the workspace location, so you can create resources outside a project as well.
