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.
Check out and run ./gradlew build.
Additional command line arguments:
-PcompileXtend=trueactivates the Xtend compiler, but this is optional because the generated Java code is included in the repository.-PuseJenkinsSnapshots=trueswitches 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 (except for xtext-idea, which is only available from the Jenkins server).
First run ./gradlew createLocalMavenRepo 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.
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.
