Description Bernhard Cygan

Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

setting the Geneartor outlet path to an absolute path does not work, because the generator will always use the classpath and ignore the given directory.

see http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=tree&th=170474&start=0&#page_top

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate example DSL
2. Modify ...Generator.mwe2, so that path of the Generator component points to a directory outside the project
3. Run the mWE2 file
==> The directory is ignored and instead the classpath is used.

This is a batch close of open M2T Xpand bugs. It is not planned work on this component in the foreseeable future. If you think this issue needs to be solved and you plan to contribute a fix then feel free to reopen it.
