It includes and needs a couple of libraries from Xtext, though, because its all build with Xtext. Other than that Xtend is not dependent on Xtext and can be used in arbitrary Java projects.<br /><br />Here&#39;s the update site:<br />http://download.itemis.de/updates/Sven Efftingehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11751196715155150517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24248206.post-29559146977510310842011-08-17T16:21:36.743+01:002011-08-17T16:21:36.743+01:00Sorry Sven,<br /><br />I have to come back to my &quot;pre previous&quot; post. I was looking for a &quot;no-xtext&quot; &quot;xtend-only&quot; distribution but don&#39;t seem to be able to find one. xtend seems to be included in the indigo xpand feature but that version does not seem to be the most up to date one.rowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24248206.post-70245623151706597192011-08-17T16:03:06.328+01:002011-08-17T16:03:06.328+01:00Is there a reasonable way to use xtend without xtext?

I&#39;m interested in how I might be able to use that.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />EdwinEdwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061401445505730175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24248206.post-38371782242417129402011-05-09T07:14:01.882+01:002011-05-09T07:14:01.882+01:00@Brunni:<br />- Refactoring<br /><br />Xtend supports rename refactoring, even cross language with Java.<br /><br />- Debug support<br /><br />Is planned for the net release. For now you have to debug through the generated Java code, which is not ideal but ok.<br /><br />- How to show the type of an expression in the editor?<br /><br />We plan to have local variable hover showing the type for the release in June. Maybe we should have another action invokable on arbitrary expressions.<br /><br />- Can you create your own type-system?<br />I think you mix up Xbase and Xtend. Xbase is the language library which concsists of expressions only. Xtend is a language we have built with Xbase.<br />The typesystem is modeled after the one from Java / the JVM, but it can be populated arbitrary (there is an intermediate layer, i.e. you don&#39;t need Java or Byte code)<br /><br />- Is there an example that&#39;s extending the baselang?<br /><br />Xtend is one and Xtext ships with a simple domainmodel language, where you can define entities and such. It supports operation incl. implementation based on Xbase. We have lots of other ideas but, e.g. I have built one for Guice module configuration (see older blog posts).<br /><br />HTH<br />SvenSven Efftingehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11751196715155150517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24248206.post-87334411371488022332011-05-08T17:56:01.564+01:002011-05-08T17:56:01.564+01:00Xtend2 looks really nice.

I think this working with Xtext Xbase is going to be a major step toward providing a natural path from GPL -&gt; DSL and back. I guess that&#39;s the idea, right? In any case I want it just because of the polymorphic dispatch!<br /><br />I am a bit worried about migrating all of my existing Xpand and Xtend stuff and I&#39;ll miss the more &#39;pure&#39; Xpand syntax in that one thing I always liked about that was that it was completely orthogonal to Java syntax.Mileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17300817862565432979noreply@blogger.com
