Regression in Xtend 2.3.0M6 [message #825909]

Hi,

Just updated to M6 and it looks like the Xtend => Java translation is wrong.

I have a Java-Class like this:

LanguageManager {
public void addLanguage(String lang) {
//....
}
}

And call it in Xtend like this:

LanguageManager {
public void addLanguage(String lang) {
//....
}
}

def componentDefinition() '''
«FOR script : definition.scripts»
«languageManager.addLanguage(script.language)»

«ENDFOR»
'''

Now the generated code looks like this:

> for(final Script script : _scripts) {
> _builder.append("\t");
> String _language = script.getLanguage();
> void _addLanguage = languageManager.addLanguage(_language);

which is obviously wrong!

It looks like you are not checking the return-type of the call function
but blindly assign it to a variable ;-) I fixed the problem for me now
by return a boolean from addLanguage() but it is quite likely that you
others have such problems too!
