Hey, I have a root component A which has B as a child (B has a TextGen aspect and can also be a root, but isn't in this instance). I would like to generate (Java) code for A and use the text file gene...

Isn't it done automatically for you? AFAIK MPS will use the generator to transform the model and in the end will use TextGen on the last model to produce text, so if your B node is still present at that point, it will get converted to text.

Thanks for you reply. Hm. I'll try to explain again, because I'm not sure if I explained myself correctly. Suppose I have node A, implementing `IMainClass`, which is transformed into a Java program. One of A's child nodes is B which could also be an independent root node. What I would like to have as 'output' is the following: `.` (output directory) `./textGenBOutput/BText.txt` `./GeneratedProgramBasedOnA.java` So that the Java program is able to read the generated text via a `FileInputStream` or something similar and to some processing based on that. Maybe I took a wrong turn somewhere, but I did not manage to achieve this.

You can use a preprocessing script in the generator to detach all B nodes that have a parent and add them as roots to the input model (or instead of detaching them, add their copies to the input model).

Ok thanks, I will try that
