fileContentsToString ? [message #846654]

Hi,

at the Xtext docs I could see an example of xtend that uses this:

val data = try {
  fileContentsToString('data.txt')
} catch (IOException e) {
  'dummy data'
}

I've tried to use it in one xtend class but I'm getting error "Couldn't resolve reference to JvmIdentifiableElement 'fileContentsToString'."

This fileContentsToString exists ? if yes, could someone point the right import that I must use?

regards,

Cristiano

The method seems do no exist. At least I've searched it in all dependencies in xbase, xtext and xtend projects.

But I've found this: Files::readFileIntoString('data.txt') that is contained by org.eclipse.xtext.util bundle.

regards,

Cristiano
