== Overview ==
+
(Insert text here)
+
 
+
== Version 5 ==
+
 
+
In Version 5 we want to improve some of the Xtend language concepts and features.
+
Codename is Xtend++ :
+
 
+
=== Imports ===
+
The import mechanism should be overworked, so that every import is explicite.
+
We won't need any metamodel configuration in the workflow nor in the editors anymore.
+
This will not only make the setup simpler but will also improve the performance.
+
 
+
The syntax would change to something like the following:
+
 
+
import org:openarchitectureware:Extension; // native import
+
import EMF "my/package/model.ecore"; // non-native import
+
import UML "my/test.profile.uml" as profile; // non-native import with name space definition
+
 
+
==== Native import ====
+
A native import refers to another extension file imports all public members (types, functions, extensions).
+
 
+
==== Non-native Import ====
+
A non native import starts with an identifier pointing to an installed adapter.
+
The adapter is responsible for loading and converting the members from the given string.
+
The syntax in the string is defined by the adapter.
+
 
+
==== Namespace definition ====
+
All members are included without namespace information. If you need a namespace you can explicitely define one per import.
+
 
+
==== Reexport ====
+
The reexport keyword will be supported.
+
 
+
=== Object construction pattern ===
+
We are thinking about a syntax to create model graphs inline.
+
We need this not only for model transformations but also for writing model transformation tests.
+
 
+
Example:
+
 
+
new Entity as e {
+
  name := "Person";
+
  references += new Reference {
+
                  name := "partner"
+
                  type := e
+
                }
+
}
+
 
+
==== Assignments ====
+
They are just another syntax for invoking a setter resp. adder-operation (which will be removed).
+
