Texo/Code Generation Details

Introduction

The Texo code generation is controlled by annotations on the model. These annotations determine the class names, names of methods and java package names. When Teneo generates code it will automatically create these annotations (in-memory) for each model element (EClass, EStructuralFeature). However, it is also possible to define these annotations in a so-called annotations model. This gives you the possibility to override the choices made by the Texo code generator. Texo will use these manual annotations and add its own annotations to have a complete annotated model.

This document describes how the annotations model works and how you can define the annotations model.

What is an Annotations Model

An annotations model is very similar to the ecore model or xsd. An annotations model has references to the original ecore model and adds extra information to store directives for code generation. The screenshot below shows an example of an annotations model.
