Comment 1 Stephane Begaudeau

The new module wizard has been contributed on HEAD, this new wizard will be available in Acceleo 3.1.0 M6.

JET is not used in Acceleo anymore to generate:
- the Acceleo module
- the luncher class created from a @main annotation in a template
- the 3 Ant files
It has been replaced with Acceleo modules.

The org.eclipse.acceleo.ide.ui.example extension point is now deprecated and it will not be used in Acceleo anymore, that also includes the Java interface that needed to be implemented for this extension point and all its subclasses of course.

This extension point is replaced by a new extension point org.eclipse.acceleo.ide.ui.initialization which provides the same feature with more options. Since the new wizard has more options, the API that allow the user to contribute their initialization strategy into it has now more options too.

EEF will not be used to realize the wizards because the UI needed is quite simple. The new project wizard will be next.

Closing this bug since the new wizards have been contributed on HEAD since 3.1M6 at least.
