 				    <p>Xtend 2.31.0 is a maintenance release.</p>

 <h2 id="call-to-action-secure-the-future-maintenance-of-xtext--xtend">Call to Action: Secure the future maintenance of Xtext &amp; Xtend</h2>

 <p>As you might have recognized, the number of people contributing to Xtext &amp; Xtend on a regular basis has declined over the past years and so has the number of contributions. At the same time the amount of work for basic maintenance has stayed the same or even increased with the new release cadence of Java and the Eclipse simultaneous release. Briefly: The future maintenance of Xtext &amp; especially Xtend is at risk, at least in the current form and as part of the Eclipse Simrel. If you care, please join the discussion in <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1721">https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1721</a>.</p>

 <h2 id="xtext-monorepo">Xtext Monorepo</h2>

 <p>Xtext is now built from the new Monorepo at https://github.com/eclipse/xtext and built with Maven only. Many thanks to Lorenzo Bettini for the great effort to make this possible.</p>

 <p>As you might have recognized, the number of people contributing to Xtext &amp; Xtend on a regular basis has declined over the past years and so has the number of contributions. At the same time the amount of work for basic maintenance has stayed the same or even increased with the new release cadence of Java and the Eclipse simultaneous release.

 <h2 id="xtend-and-java-17">Xtend and Java 17</h2>
 <p>Xtend now supports Java 17 as source and target, too. This requires newer Eclipse platform and JDT versions that do no longer run on Java 8. That’s why the Xtend 2.29 compiler requires Java 11 as minimal Java version. While we were at it we also bumped the minimal tested Eclipse version to 2022-03 (2.28 was still compatible to and tested against Eclipse Oxygen).</p>

 <p>Please Note: We did no special treatment for newer Java constructs in Xtend, so what works, works, what does not, does not - the latter being most likely intentional. Please engage by filing bugs or pull requests.</p>

 <p>A feature that was removed in the course of the upgrade was the converter from Java code to Xtend code. It did not support new language features and in most cases we think it’s more<br />
 suited to write Java instead of Xtend anyways. Xtend is great for code generators and our assumption is that most code generators couldn’t be automagically translated to Xtend anyways.</p>

 <p>As you might have recognized, the number of people contributing to Xtext &amp; Xtend on a regular basis has declined over the past years and so has the number of contributions. At the same time the amount of work for basic maintenance has stayed the same or even increased with the new release cadence of Java and the Eclipse simultaneous release. Briefly: The future maintenance of Xtext &amp; especially Xtend is at risk, at least in the current form and as part of the Eclipse Simrel.

 <h2 id="xtend-and-java-17">Xtend and Java 17</h2>

 <p>Xtend now supports running on Java 17 with Java 8 and 11 targets. Source and Target 17 are not supported yet and are planned for Xtext/Xtend 2.27.0. This will also require dropping Java 8 in the next release.</p>

 <h2 id="deprecations">Deprecations</h2>

 <ul>
   <li>We will drop support for GWT in a future release.</li>
   <li>The next Xtend version will likely no long support Java versions below Java 11.</li>
 </ul>

 <h2 id="xtext-xtend-eclipse-and-java-11">Xtext, Xtend, Eclipse, and Java 11</h2>

 <p>The Eclipse Platform and Java Development Tools have decided to migrate to Java 11 with the new 2020-09 (4.17) release. Xtext and Xtend depend on these projects both for the integration into Eclipse as well as in the LSP and standalone mode. Xtext 2.23 still works with Java 8, but if you want to work with Xtext in Eclipse 2020-09 (4.17) you have to start your Tycho builds with Java 11 as well as launch your Runtime Eclipse Applications with Java 11.</p>

 <p>We decided to follow suit to close a window of opportunity for hard to find bugs. Therefore, the version 2.24 of Xtext and Xtend which is due along with Eclipse 2020-12 will be the first release that depends on Java 11. Please feel encouraged to join the discussion in <a href="https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1804">https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/issues/1804</a> if you have any concerns, general comments or other suggestions.</p>
