## Compiling the Projects
Options
1. Add your new generated test projects to the integration tests(check the scripts in [src/test/bash/](src/test/bash/) as well as [.gitlab-ci.yml](.gitlab-ci.yml)) and let the CI/CD system compile them. Alternatively you can use Docker to run the integration tests locally(reference [README.md](README.md) , Section 'Running the Integration tests locally')
2. Install all dependencies (reference [README.md](README.md) , Section 'Dependencies needed to compile the generated projects') and execute the generated compile scripts.
