Getting and modifying generator module sources

All these sources (and the Acceleo ones) are stored on the Subversion repository of the project. You may directly use this repository but some modules provide a quicker and easier way to get the sources directly from Eclipse. This uses the Team Project Set files.

If the module you want to modify provides such a file, download it and keep it in arm's reach. Here we'll use the file provided by the Ecore2Python module.

Your Eclipse installation should have a Subversion support to use these files, you may use either the Subversive or Subclipse plugin (the PSF files available from Acceleo.org are only compatibles with Subversive plugin). The Eclipse bundles provided by the Acceleo project all include Subversive.
