[Xtend] access static field/method [message #659299]

Hi,

something I always wanted to know but never dared to ask: How can I
access a static field or method of a Java class/interface from Xtend?

E.g., how can I retrieve the EcorePackage.eINSTANCE field? (Which I
actually need for retrieving ecore metamodel types).

Cheers,

Jens

Hi,

what about writing a JAVA Extension that calls a Helper Method in a Java Class that returns the static member.

That's how I solved that problem hitherto. However I was wondering if
there is no way of doing that in Xtend/Xpand directly.

Cheers,
