Briefly: The future maintenance of Xtext & especially Xtend is at risk, at least in the current form and as part of the Eclipse Simrel.

Xtend 2.40.0 Release Notes  Aug 25, 2025


Call to Action: Secure the future maintenance of Xtext & Xtend

Breaking Changes

The groupId for Xtend Maven artifacts, including xtend-maven-plugin, is now org.eclipse.xtext, instead of org.eclipse.xtend.
A “relocation” is in place so everything should work also if using the old groupId.
However, we recommend everyone to use the groupId org.eclipse.xtext for all Xtend Maven artifacts starting from this release.

  • The Xtend compiler annotates the synthetic method generated for implementing dispatching for Xtend dispatch methods with the new annotation @XbaseGenerated; this way, code coverage tools like JaCoCo will ignore such Java methods when collecting code coverage. This is now the default behavior of the compiler but can be disabled with the corresponding option.
