Publications

Note: ExtendJ was formerly known as JastAddJ, and most past publications use the old name. In some cases ExtendJ is also referred to as the JastAdd frontend for Java.

This OOPSLA 2007 paper describes the basic architecture of ExtendJ:

• Torbjörn Ekman, Görel Hedin: The JastAdd Extensible Java Compiler. OOPSLA 2007: 1-18, Proceedings of the 22nd Annual ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications, October 2007, Montreal, Canada.

The development of the Java 7 extension is described in a Master's Thesis and a later research paper:

• Jesper Öqvist: Implementation of Java 7 Features in an Extensible Compiler. Master's Thesis LU-CS-EX: 2012-13, Dept of Computer Science, Lund University, 2012.
• Jesper Öqvist, Görel Hedin: Extending the JastAdd extensible Java compiler to Java 7. PPPJ 2013:147-152, Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Principles and Practices of Programming on the Java Platform: Virtual Machines, Languages, and Tools, September 2013, Stuttgart, Germany.

The development of the Java 8 module is documented in this Master's Thesis:

• Erik Hogeman: Extending JastAddJ to Java 8. Master's Thesis LU-CS-EX: 2014-14, Dept of Computer Science, Lund University, 2014.

Extension Articles

The following article describes an implementation of Multiplicities for Java, as an ExtendJ Extension:
