#15 changing template no effect on .java output

[halkmund]

When changing the content of a template mapped to a model entity
and regenerating the .java file for this entity, the old .java file is not
overwritten.

This seems to be due to a (oldContent != newContent) check allways
returning false:

the oldContent and newContent both are equal to
jmerger.getTargetCompilationUnitContents()

changing line 974 of file JETMappingGeneratorImpl to

newContents = jMerger.getSourceCompilationUnitContents();

solved the problem.

Hi Joel ;-)

I also vote for this fix!
Some time ago I decided to switch from OAWG to your Merlin
Generator and I'm quite happy with that decision. I'm
rapidly progressing with my templates and it's fun most of
the time. Unfortunately the here mentioned bug is quite
annoying during template/model development.

Do you suggest to use the HEAD version?

Btw. first by reading this bug I discovered that Merlin uses
JMerge. I don't like it very much (as I don't like to mix
generated and non-generated portions of the code in
general). Is there a way to switch it off without modifying
the Merlin source - which I don't like either ;-)

On the other hand it'd be comfortable to have the generator
launched through an Ant script. Did I only not find the hint?

Cheers
