Xtend: Is there a counterpart to the Scala singleton object in Xtend

Question

I'm absolutely new to Xtend, but browsing the documentation and searching the Web unfortunately didn't bring up a clear answer.

I really do like the way one can define a singleton object in Scala.

Is there a counterpart to this in Xtend or do I have to fall back to implementing the singleton pattern myself?

Answer 1

From the comments: @SvenEfftinge No, there's none, as Singletons are not so popular these days (testability). We could easily have an annotation @Singleton that does the plumbing. If you feel that's useful please file a bugzilla.
