Description

Hello,

I have a xcore file which has following annotation:

@GenModel(modelDirectory="/dgh.dkuh.model.farr/src-gen", fileExtensions="fmi", editDirectory="/dgh.dkuh.model.fai.edit/src-gen",
	editPluginID="dgh.dkuh.model.fai.edit", editorDirectory="/dgh.dkuh.model.fai.editor/src-gen",
	editorPluginID="dgh.dkuh.model.fai.editor", forceOverwrite="true", resource="XMI", complianceLevel="7.0")

It generates the source folder for dgh.dkuh.model.farr. It does not generate the source folders for dgh.dkuh.model.fai.edit and dgh.dkuh.model.fai.editor during the maven build. In eclipse is it working.

Thank you very much

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Maven build using the shown @GenModel annotation in the xcore file, then compare it with the Eclipse generation that succeeds. Investigate why the edit and editor src-gen directories are omitted while the model src-gen directory is generated. Done means Maven generates both missing source folders consistently.
