Like Scala, Xtend allows to omit "obvious" semicolons. Of course, this can lead to ambiguity in some corner cases. Scala-IDE has added a button to show/hide inferred semicolons, much like Eclipse's button to show/hide whitespace:
You could file a feature request in bugzilla (you'll find the link on the website).
Please also provide us with a typical scenario where such a feature helps you.
Thanks,

As a matter of fact, I just realised that such a feature is much more useful with Scala than with Xtend right now, as Scala allows for omitting much more than just semi-colons. I guess Scala-IDE have added this feature to help decrypting statements where lots dots and parentheses are omitted as well...
Adding it to Xtend might just be purely cosmetic...
