It is easy to generate code from a model because it is as easy as writing text to a file. Once you have mastered that step, please attend this session and hear us talk about:
Solving the formatting dilemma: Have a nicely formatted template that also generates nicely formatted code
Introspecting your template expressions, for example to automatically derive import statements
Tracing: Track the originating model elements for each generated text region and enable several nice UI features
Debugging: How a code generator may be the only piece you need to offer debug support for your textual model.
Ways to modify the generated code without losing the ability to regenerate
Proven strategies for automated testing of code generators
All solutions that we will present have successfully been applied in industrial projects.
