Title: Generic Traits for the Java Platform
Speaker: Lorenzo Bettini
Authors: Lorenzo Bettini, Ferruccio Damiani
Abstract: We present XTRAITJ, a trait-based programming language that features complete compatibility and interoperability with the Java platform. XTRAITJ provides a full Eclipse IDE that aims to support an incremental adoption of traits in existing JAVA projects. XTRAITJ supports JAVA generics: traits can have type parameters just like in JAVA , so that they can completely interoperate with any existing JAVA library. Furthermore, XTRAITJ supports JAVA annotations, so that it can integrate with frameworks like JUNIT 4.
