I want to set the default value of a string which is defined in a static variable in xtend.
But I am getting this error:
Multiple markers at this line
- missing RULE_STRING at 'MyStaticObjects'
- MyStaticObjectscannot be resolved to a type.
- extraneous input '::' expecting RULE_ID
- A generic type in this context must refer to a classifier or
a type parameter

I use it like this:

class Directory {
String name = MyStaticObjects::DEFAULT_NAME
}

May I know how to initialize a string to a static variable?

You can only specify a literal string value, not an arbitrary expression.

Is there a plan to add this feature in the future? This will be something nice to have.

Chris,

No, not really. In the end, an Xcore instance just maps to an Ecore and
GenModel instance, and an EStructuralFeature has a "default value"
literal attribute, i.e., a fix constant, not some expression that would
need to be evaluated at runtime...
