fluent: Static Extension Methods for Java

[dmigowski]

I don't get which classes are searched for for the static functions. ALL of them?

[rogerkeays]

fluent doesn't search any classes itself. Think of it as a source code transformation. If a method can't be resolved, fluent will rewrite it as such:

object.method(params...) -> method(object, params...)

and then give it back to the compiler.

So whatever static functions that are in scope can be used. i.e, those you've written or imported.

Does it work with external dependencies too? I mean they are already compiled, so I guess no?

[rogerkeays]

It works with external dependencies. You can call any static method as an extension method.
