Integrating EMF code generation from an Ecore model into a Tycho build. Sources: my.ecore, my.genmodel, plugin.xml, META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. build.properties Generated Java sources end up in target/generated-sources/emf/src. This directory is included in build.properties as an additional source folder.

I'm trying to use this snippet to add this generator capability to my tycho build.

Currently, my build fails, and I get this error written out to my log file during the build.

I hoping that you can point out what I'm missing.
