Roadmap?

[Harshad RJ]

Hello developers,

After spending a week with Xtend for an Android project, I came to the conclusion that it is not feasible to use Xtend for this purpose in its current state. Correct me if I have misunderstood something but I think these features are crucial:

• Support for anonymous classes. This is the way many Java APIs have been designed currently, so a must have.
  
• Proper generics support. Case in point: Bug #417675

Given that closures work, the following would be good to have too:

• Inner classes.
  
• Inner functions.
  

Can you please give a roadmap for the future releases of Xtend? I am eager to use Xtend whenever I can.

PS. In jest, your website says "Java 10 now", but it would be good if Xtend supports Java 5 features now :)

best,

It is planned to add support for anonymous classes in 2.5 (the next release).

However we don't have a fixed release date yet.

The generics issue is a bug, which is also scheduled for 2.5.
