JvmModelInferrer - Generate a method call [message #1765379]

Hello,

I am trying to write a small DSL which generates a Java Class. Within this class, I would like to add something like this

public static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(blah.class);

I know how to generate ' LOG' filed using jvmtype builder toField API.

I also know that I can also write a setInitializer to initialize this field

typeBuilder.setInitializer(logger, appendable -> {
appendable.append("LoggerFactory.getLogger(");
appendable.append("blah");
appendable.append(".class)");
});

However this does not cause the import of LoggerFactory.

I am wondering how can achieve the same result with Model Inferrer recognizing the LoggerFactory type and generating a import statement for that?

Thanks

why not use xtend and StringConcatenationClient for that

initializer = '''« LoggerFactory».getLogger(Blah.class)'''

dont know if it works if you do

appendable.append(LoggerFactory)
