Description
If I understand correctly, the plugin does not provide any means to specify an output directory for generating code from the test source files. The only way is to write two executions with different output configurations, right?
However, then in Eclipse, there's no way to have main files and test files for a DSL in the same project unless the generated code is generated in the same output directory.
Of course, this is important for Xbase languages that generate Java code.

Research direction
Start by examining the plugin configuration for generating code from test source files and how Eclipse handles main and test outputs in an Xbase language project. Confirm whether separate executions are currently required, then define completion as supporting a configurable test output directory while keeping main and test generated code usable in the same Eclipse project.
