Description Lorenzo Bettini CLA 2011-06-08 08:55:59 EDT 
When you create a new xtext project (with Xtext 2 from the milestones update repository) and you specify a directory different from the default one (i.e., not in the workspace but in another directory), with name, say org.xtext.example.mydsl, xtext will generate 3 plugins:

- org.xtext.example.mydsl
- org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui
- org.xtext.example.mydsl.tests

but physically the directories in the hard disk will be

- org.xtext.example.mydsl
- org.xtext.example.mydsl.ui
- org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator (instead of tests)

when generating then artifacts (and in general, when running the workflow) things will be generated in the src-gen subdirectory of the directory org.xtext.example.mydsl.tests, though the plugin opened in eclipse org.xtext.example.mydsl.tests will refer to the directory org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator.

some additional information:

the problem seems to take place only upon project creation: 

- delete the 3 projects (but not the contents), 
- copy the contents of the directory org.xtext.example.mydsl.tests into  org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator
- remove the directory org.xtext.example.mydsl.tests
- rename the directory org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator into org.xtext.example.mydsl.tests
- reopen the 3 projects in eclipse
- run the mwe2 generator again
- the org.xtext.example.mydsl.generator directory does not show up anymore
