[news.eclipse.modeling.m2t] Re: [MTL] the emtl-file

[laurent Goubet <laurent.goubet@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Siegfried,

As Guillaume found out, the emtl file is a compiled version of the .mtl 
template. This is the file that's used by the engine for the generation, 
the .mtl being no more than the source.

It sometime happens for this file to be missing when the java builder 
decided to delete everything contained within the "bin" folder; it does 
it on a regular basis. You will then need to either force a save of your 
mtl file or use Project => clean... => <your mtl project(s)> for the 
emtl files to be compiled anew. This has been fixed in the 0.8 version, 
which you should obviously use to avoid a fair number of issues.

The absence of the builder most probably comes from your using version 
0.7 as well.
