How to use GWTs JSNI with Xtend

Question

I'm creating a GWT application and using Xtend. It seems that when Xtend compiles to Java, it removes comments, so when I try to use JSNI, it turns this:

def native void publish() /*-{
  // do some javascript stuff through JSNI
}-*/;

into this:

public native void publish();

How can I configure Xtend to preserve comments or otherwise utilize JSNI with Xtend?

With xtend you can't. As workaround move jsni part to java class https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=430929
