static operator_doubleArrow

[Micael Pedrosa]

Is it possible to add the operator => as a static method, so I can do something like:

TestData => [

  x = 'x'

]

I'm searching for a way to add a build constructor:

  public static TestData operator_doubleArrow(final Procedure1<TestDataBuilder> block) {

 final TestDataBuilder builder = new TestDataBuilder();

 block.apply(builder);

 return new TestData(builder);

  }

TestData is a class literal so the you need to define the left operand as a Class<? extends TestData>:

  public static TestData operator_doubleArrow(Class<? extends TestData> left, final Procedure1<TestDataBuilder> block) {

That doesn't seems to work. It will resolve to:

<Class<TestData>> Class<TestData> ObjectExtensions.operator_doubleArrow(Class<TestData> object, Procedure1<? super Class<TestData>> block)

Update:

Strangely enough, it partially works.

It works if I use the operator inside the generated class.

It's not working outside, in my case in the test suits.

Are you sure you have put the extension on the scope in the tests?

i.e, "import static extension ..."

Yes that works, thanks.
