[xtend2] access static member in another package [message #786377]

Hello all,

in xtend2, I can write something like this

val foo = new my.very.long.package.Class()

But if a try to access a static member the editor complains. That is, I cannot write something like this

val foo = my.very.long.package.Class::IamStatic()

Where Class is either a Java class or an xtend2 class, and the current class is in another package, of course.
So, how can I access a static member of a class contained in another package?

I do not want (or cannot) import the class and then simply use

Class::IamStatic()

because I need to keep the "namespace" explicit in the code to avoid confusion. Moreover, I might be inside a class whose name is again 'Class', an so without package specification I cannot tell the compiler to use the class in the other package.

thanks
B

Hi Bruce,

val foo = my::very::long::package::Class::IamStatic()

should work.

Regards,
Sebastian
