[xtend2.2] Semantics of "it" with "switch" [message #763162]

Hi,

I just upgraded to xtend 2.2 and experience the following (minor) issue.

In my xtend class, I am using the "it" special variable in combination with a switch-to-subclass expression (TBase and TSome are EMF classes and TBase is base class of TSome):

def generate(TBase it) {
   switch (it) {
      TSome:   name + " because " + purpose
      // ...
   }
}

name is an attribute of the base class TBase and works fine. purpose is an attribute of TSome, this gives an error marker Couldn't resolve reference to JvmIdentifiableElement 'purpose'. This can be fixed by explicitly using it.purpose.

I don't know what is intended here, but I guess the behavior changed from 2.1 to 2.2.

Regards,
Klaus

Yes, that's a know bug. But I don't think we have a bugreport yet.
