xtext-xtend

Eclipse Xtend

Xtend is a flexible and expressive dialect of Java that compiles into readable Java source code. You can use any existing Java library seamlessly. The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, and tends to run as fast as the equivalent handwritten Java code. Become productive and write beautiful code with powerful macros, lambdas, operator overloading, and many more modern language features.

How To Build

Core Module

Check out and run ./gradlew build.

Additional command line arguments:

• -PcompileXtend=true activates the Xtend compiler, but this is optional because the generated Java code is included in the repository.
• -PuseJenkinsSnapshots=true switches to using the Maven repositories generated by the Jenkins build jobs for xtext-lib, xtext-core, and xtext-extras. Without this argument, Sonatype snapshots are used.

Maven Support

First run ./gradlew publish publishToMavenLocal to compile and install the Xtend core module, then run

mvn -f maven-pom.xml clean install -PuseSonatypeSnapshots

With the above configuration, Sonatype snapshots are used for upstream Xtext dependencies. The alternative profile -PuseJenkinsSnapshots activates the Maven repositories generated on the Jenkins server for xtext-lib, xtext-core, and xtext-extras instead.

Eclipse Support

Run mvn -f tycho-pom.xml clean install.

Note: The target platform used for the Tycho build loads the required Xtext dependencies (xtext-lib, xtext-core, xtext-extras) from their respective p2 repositories on the Jenkins server.
