Hi,
We were about to start implementing our test suites in Groovy, but since we might move to Xtext, it's easier to use Xtend instead. One thing that I miss from Groovy is the literal lists/arrays. These make writing tests much easier.
Are there any plans to add something similar? Or maybe there are already some nifty extension methods to do that?
best regards,
Vlad

Yes, they are not extension methods, but implicitly imported:
newArrayList('foo','bar','baz')
newHashSet('a','b','c')
newHashMap(1 -> 'one', 2 -> 'two')
