Description Sven Efftinge CLA 2011-04-05 14:52:18 EDT 
Currently every Xtend function and class is public.
We should support protected and private (and maybe an explicit public) as well.
Comment 1 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2011-05-04 06:11:45 EDT 
Preliminary scheduled for 2.0RC1
Comment 2 Sven Efftinge CLA 2011-05-04 09:59:10 EDT 
postponed to SR1

Comment 4 Sven Efftinge CLA 2011-08-15 04:49:52 EDT 
We should also have visibility for fields.
Comment 5 Jan Koehnlein CLA 2011-10-11 09:36:06 EDT 
First shot pushed.

- As opposed to Java, there is no package private (default) visibility. 
- Top level classes in Java can only be public or package private, so they don't have a visibility in Xtend (generated JavaClass is public)
- XtendFields are private by default. Syntax is
  public extension String field
- Non-dispatch XtendFunctions are public by default. 
- Dispatch functions are by default protected. The synthetic dispatcher is usually public by default, except for the case when all dispatch cases have the same non-public visibility. The dispatcher has the same visibility then.
- For functions, the visibility is specified between def/override and the optional dispatch, e.g.
  override private dispatch foo()

Still missing:
- Icons for labels
- Docs
- Some validation
Comment 6 Jan Koehnlein CLA 2011-10-11 10:57:17 EDT
