Description germund

Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

We generate "customized" Xtext projects programmatically with our Feature-Language generator (Featlang). For this purpose, the XtextProjectCreator, XtextProjectInfo and WizardContribution classes already provide much of the functionality we need need but the containing package 

org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.ui.wizard.project

is not exported from the plug-in org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.ui, and we argue that the aforementioned classes should be extendable (and that the access restrictions of their constants and methods should be lifted to protected).

For now, we have more or less duplicated these classes. The Featlang Xtext generator needs to

- use other Xpand templates than the standard ones for the DSL, DSL-UI and DSL-Generator projects
- provide access to a model instance in the class implementing IProjectInfo
- set required bundles, exported packages, etc. more specifically on the generated projects respectively

The classes AbstractProjectCreator and AbstractPluginProjectCreator are already provided, but also making XtextProjectCreator, XtextProjectInfo, and WizardContribution accessible and extendable would certainly make it easier to maintain our code.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks, that was quick :-) But the manifest still reads 

org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.ui.wizard.project;x-friends:="org.eclipse.xtext.xtext.ui.tests"
