[Question]: Run without plugin about schema-gen

[reaster]

schema-gen can be built using Gradle command:

gradle build

However, that doesn't buy you much because you still need to tweak the config and sometimes the schema and/or the framework itself to get the desired result. I recommend using the Community edition of IntelliJ because it has good support for both Groovy and Gradle. You can import the build.gradle file and IntelliJ will download the dependencies and compile the framework. Then, you can start playing with the examples found in DartGenMain.groovy, SwiftGenMain.groovy, etc. to exercise the code generator.

The companion schema-gen-examples project demonstrates how to test and use the generated code. If you install the examples project in the same parent folder as schema-gen, you can re-generate the existing examples using the above mentioned <language>GenMain.groovy files which can serve as working templates for your own project.

If you have a simple, well designed schema, with luck you may get a working code set without much effort. However, most real world schemas will require delving into the framework which can be a steep learning curve, especially if you don't know Groovy. Also, all these tools and languages are moving targets, which is why the groovy plugin broke and why current java/groovy version support is lacking. These will eventually be addressed, but you may have to wait until I have a personal or commercial requirenment or a contributor issues a pull request.
