Description Moritz Eysholdt CLA 2011-11-28 10:00:12 EST 
I'm not sure Xtend wants to fulfill the magic that this code snippet promises to deliver

---
class foo extends bar {
	new(String i, String x) {
		this = new foo("", "x")
	}
}
---

currently, there are no validation errors.

I'd expect an error that assignments to "this" are not allowed.
Comment 1 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2011-11-28 10:02:07 EST 
Does this happen for methods, too?
Comment 2 Moritz Eysholdt CLA 2011-11-28 10:23:26 EST 
yes,

---
class bar {
	def foo() {
		this = new bar()
	}
}
---

does not lead to validation errors.
Comment 3 Holger Schill CLA 2012-01-03 04:43:10 EST 
Will introduce a validation for that. The message could be the same as in JDT:

Left-hand side of an assignment must be an variable
