Xpand puts into the file what ever the template file contains. I.e. if the template files contain NL it generates NL. In the case of Xtext's generator it is NL. Do you want us to generate different newline characters depending on what CVS client people use? (In reply to comment #1) > Xpand puts into the file what ever the template file contains.

With genmodel, if I regenerate, I appear to have a lot of outgoing changes, and when I Synchronize with repository the changes vanish. With Xtext, if I regenerate, I appear to have a lot of outgoing changes, but when I Synchronize with repository the changes are still there, although the changes are solely to do with line endings. When I commit these changes CVS ignores them, but I have to incur the delays from multiple 4.5MB file transfers. I would like to see Xtext creating files and lines in the same way as genmodel. Ping. Window->Preferences->General has a "New text file line delimiter", that I have as default, but could explicitly set to Mac/Unix/Windows. I presume the platform inherits the default (Windows) setting, which is what it would be helpful for Xtext to use. Pushed to review. See https://git.eclipse.org/r/29920 |
