Using the Acceleo runtime in a Java project

Right now if you want to use the Acceleo runtime in a Java project you have to add the jars of the Acceleo runtime as external jars or even worst, you have to copy them in your Java project. In order to do that, you first have to find all the jars of the Acceleo runtime and their dependencies in your Eclipse installation folder. It is definitely not user friendly.

Looking for the Acceleo runtime dependencies ?

The Acceleo runtime will now be available directly from the Eclipse classpath configuration window.

From there you will be able to easily add the Acceleo runtime or even the Acceleo compiler as a dependency of your project.

This new feature will be available starting with Acceleo 3.1.0M7 along with the new syntax coloring preference menu and the OCL/Acceleo operations documentation in the Acceleo editor.
