sampleFile1.xtend (Example 1):

  partial class MyClass {
    def void func1TypeA() {}
    def void func2TypeA() {}
    def void func3TypeA() {}
  }


sampleFile2.xtend (Example 1):

  partial class MyClass {
    def void func1TypeB() {}
    def void func2TypeB() {}
    def void func3TypeB() {}
  }


MyClass.java (Example 1):

  public class MyClass {
    public void func1TypeA() {}
    public void func2TypeA() {}
    public void func3TypeA() {}
    public void func1TypeB() {}
    public void func2TypeB() {}
    public void func3TypeB() {}
  }
