Xtend 2.37.0 Release Notes  Nov 19, 2024


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

As you might have recognized, the number of people contributing to Xtext & Xtend on a regular basis has declined over the past years and so has the number of contributions. At the same time the amount of work for basic maintenance has stayed the same or even increased with the new release cadence of Java and the Eclipse simultaneous release. Briefly: The future maintenance of Xtext & especially Xtend is at risk, at least in the current form and as part of the Eclipse Simrel. If you care, please join the discussion in https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1721.

Relevant changes

  • 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.

Xtend and Java 17

Xtend now supports Java 17 as source and target, too. This requires newer Eclipse platform and JDT versions that do no longer run on Java 8. That’s why the Xtend 2.29 compiler requires Java 11 as minimal Java version. While we were at it we also bumped the minimal tested Eclipse version to 2022-03 (2.28 was still compatible to and tested against Eclipse Oxygen).

Please Note: We did no special treatment for newer Java constructs in Xtend, so what works, works, what does not, does not - the latter being most likely intentional. Please engage by filing bugs or pull requests.

A feature that was removed in the course of the upgrade was the converter from Java code to Xtend code. It did not support new language features and in most cases we think it’s more
suited to write Java instead of Xtend anyways. Xtend is great for code generators and our assumption is that most code generators couldn’t be automagically translated to Xtend anyways.
