Description Dennis Huebner CLA 2014-09-24 04:13:04 EDT 
We should support:

class ConstructorTypeParameter {
	new<T>(T value) {
	}
}

Comment 1 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2015-09-24 08:58:46 EDT 
Could you please give us an exemplary use case that needs type parameters on constructors?
Comment 2 Norbert Sándor CLA 2015-09-27 02:37:45 EDT 
I thought that because Xtend is a "dialect of Java", the goal is to support as many Java features as possible...
Comment 3 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2015-09-28 04:19:19 EDT 
That's true, but there may be other more important things to work on before we introduce type params for constructors. A nice usecase may help to move this feature request forward.
