Define the generator code location using gradle to build xtext and xtend - gradle

Question

I'm trying to create a first project using xText and xTend building with gradle.
I created the grammar following the guidance in the xText documentation and also created the xtend generators.
In eclipse the code generates to src-gen folder as expected.
When I created the gradle script, also following the http://xtext.github.io/xtext-gradle-plugin/xtext-builder.html to build my code instead of generating the code in 'src-gen' folder it generates in 'build' folder.
Is there any way to change this folder from build to src-gen in the gradle? I tried a lot of things and I got always errors.
Complete code of grade script:
apply plugin: 'org.xtext.builder'
dependencies {
xtextLanguages 'com.example.mylang:mylang:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
}
xtext {
languages {
mylang{
setup = 'com.example.MyLangStandaloneSetup'
generator.outlet.producesJava = true
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
srcDir 'src/main/xtext'
xtendOutputDir 'src-gen'
}
}
}

Answer 1

you can configure that in the source set
sourceSets {
main.xtendOutputDir = 'xtend-gen'
}
e.g.
plugins {
id "org.xtext.xtend" version "1.0.21"
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'org.xtext.xtend'
sourceSets {
main.java.srcDirs = ['src','xtend-gen']
main.xtendOutputDir = 'xtend-gen'
}
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
// This dependency is exported to consumers, that is to say found on their compile classpath.
compile 'org.eclipse.xtext:org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib:2.13.0'
}
or for the xtxt builder plugin
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.xtext:xtext-gradle-plugin:1.0.21'
}
}
plugins {
id "org.xtext.builder" version "1.0.21"
}
repositories {
mavenLocal()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
xtextLanguages 'org.xtext.example.mydslfoo:org.xtext.example.mydslfoo:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'
}
xtext {
version '2.13.0'
languages {
mydslfoo {
setup = 'org.xtext.example.mydslfoo.MyDslFooStandaloneSetup'
generator {
outlets {
HEROES {
}
}
}
}
}
sourceSets {
main {
srcDir 'src'
output {
dir(xtext.languages.mydslfoo.generator.outlet, 'src-gen')
}
}
}
}
