'How do I save a file using Xtend? (from Xtext project)

Where does Xtend saves the file generated by fsa.generateFile('hi.txt', 'Write something in the file');" ?

Thank you.

My application: I run my xtext project as an Eclipse application. Then save it in the runtime-EclipseXtext folder.

I want know to automatically create a new file, let's say "hi.txt" from Xtend.

Inside se.gu.xtext.mydsl.generator folder, I have the MyDslGenerator.xtend file:

class MyDslGenerator extends AbstractGenerator {

    @Inject extension IQualifiedNameProvider //we need the name to create a file, so this helps provide a qualified name
    override void doGenerate(Resource resource, IFileSystemAccess2 fsa, IGeneratorContext context) {
    fsa.generateFile('hi.txt', 'Write something in the file');
    }
}

My xtext file looks like:

grammar se.gu.xtext.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
generate mydsl "www.xtext.gu.se/mydsl/MyDsl"
import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" as ecore


ProblemSpecifications returns ProblemSpecifications:
    'problem' 'specifications'
