RE: [smila-dev] epl source header vs. generated code

[Thomas Menzel <tmenzel@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

i'm posting a question about this on the http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/maillist.html to get some input from others too and how they have handled this.

Kind regards

Hi folks.

We using XJC generation tool for generating JAXB classes from XSD schemes.
For each class XJC generates headers, like the next one.

// This file was generated by the JavaTM Architecture for XML 
Binding(JAXB) Reference Implementation, vhudson-jaxb-ri-2.1-520
// See <a 
href="http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb";>http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxb</a>
// Any modifications to this file will be lost upon recompilation of the 
source schema.
// Generated on: 2008.05.19 at 09:37:58 AM GMT


but, it's not a EPL license type header and XJC does not support custom 
file headers  (its only allowed to turn header off).

We may to add some tasks to build procedure for compiling schemes to 
classes by XJC on the fly.
But I beware that it may be not convenient for developers because this 
classes required in dev stage.

Situation:
Developer creates bundle with generated classes located in "code/gen" folder
Solutions:
1. Developer excludes manually "code/gen" folder from SVN commit and it 
will be added task for make.xml to generate classes "on the fly" for budles
2. It's possible to fix XJC compiler for supporting custom/configurable 
file header

What is better by your opinion?
