Hi,

I just read/saw Sven's blog entry and screencast about Xtend2:
http://blog.efftinge.de/2011/10/xtend-21-type-safe-groovy-style-builder.html

Two questions:
- I like the way the implicit it variable simplifies the code. Is it
(pun intended) built into Xbase or "only" part of Xtend?
- In the forum, there was a discussion about a syntax for creating and
initializing object structures. This should provide some of the same
functionality as the builder in the screencast, yet is generic by not
requiring a special builder API (just constructors and setters/adders).
Is this part of the same release?

It's built into Xbase.

No. The builder API is the way to do these kind of things.
