EDE

A ToolchainGateway bridge for the WSTDeployer supports adding RXF and generated files into a EDE Project Space.
The implementation of this bridge is available in source code under Tools\WSTDeployer\src\de\willert\deployer. This directory contains three files which integrate the EDE with the WSTDeployer:

ToolchainGateway.java: Implements the actual changes done in the EDE project file.
Deployment.java: Inplements the selection of RXF and generated files, copies them and passes the file list on to the ToolchainGateway for EDE.
Constants.java: Defines which properties will be read from WSTDeployer.properties
WSTDeployer.properties.

The ToolchainGateway only adds files to the EDE project, but does not remove them, e.g. is a class was renamed or deleted. This has to be done manually in the EDE.
New files will be added to the "File" section in the EDE files which is specified as component tag within the UML model. The added files will not be added to a specific folder in the EDE and they will not be sorted by file types. The best practice is to add an folder "Files" as the last one in the EDE project and saving the project file before the deployment is started. All new files will then end up in that folder, also header files.

If the tags relativeGeneratedFilePath and / or relativeRxfPath are set to something else than "." in Rhapsody, the deployer will copy RXF files into <configured root path>\<relative tag>. E.g. if relativeGeneratedFilePath is set to "model" and the specified root path in the deployer's configuration dialog is "C:\Work\GettingStarted", the generated files would end up in "C:\Work\GettingStarted\model\". In this case the WSTDeployer would still expect the .pjt EDE project file in the configured root path.

You must close the project in the EDE and reopen it, before you can see the files added to your project. We are working on this Known Issue #778.
