The idea is yet working, we developed a Core Data Incremental Store and a Java EE 6 application that can answer to the Incremental Store events. Now the next step is to generate everything staring from the Core Data Model, designed inside XCode. Basically, the model is simply an XML file, from which I want to generate: 1) Objective C mapping for the Incremental Store 2) Java Entities that map the same model 3) JAX-RS end-point Of course I want to develop a forge plugin and here I need your advices. When I started developing the forge-errai-plugin last year I used the fantastic MetaWidget framework, but now I think that is not the right tool for the job. So, what do you think is the best way, using forge, to make those generators ? Thank you.

Hey Luca, I'm sorry, I've been meaning to answer your email for (blush) a few days now. It looks like Vineet finally beat me. I wasn't sure what to tell you about the Objective-C mapping stuff. I don't know how that would be integrated. Do you need to parse and understand the Objective-C, or do you just want to "spit it out" ? ~Lincoln On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 5:30 AM, Vineet Reynolds Pereira < vpereira(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > > Hi Luca, > > You could use MetaWidget again to generate the Java entities and > JAX-RS endpoints, although I think it would be better to do it with a > combination of both Metawidget (to generate sections of the classes) and > the Forge Java Parser API, in combination with a templating language like > Freemarker.
