Hello,

7 Languages For The JVM "Little Tortoise" language make use of an static auto-extension for Math and ColorConstants classes:

http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/7languagesDoc.html#tortoise_additons

All imported extension methods from those two classes are static. This is equivalent to:

import static extension java.lang.Math
import static extension org.eclipse.draw2d.ColorConstants

My question is, how to add non-static auto-extension? Something like:

class MyClass {
extension MyExtensionClass = new MyExtensionClass
}

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Boris Brodski

Hi Boris,

that's currently not easily possible but will be in the next release.

Regards,
Sebastian
