Xtend supports shadowing of variable names.
This is useful and convenient in some situations. Mostly i the case, where you want to rebind 'this' in order to access properties of that variable in a convenient way.

toJava(Entity this) '''
   <<packageName>>

   public class <<name>> {
   }

'''

However the following is also possible but is usually unwanted:

foo(String foo) {
   val foo = 'other'
}
