mixin support in Seam 3?

[asookazian]

This is pretty cool stuff: http://www.springsource.org/roo/why

This:

@RooEntity public class Hello {
     private String world;
}

becomes this at compile time via mixins:

public class Hello {
    private String world {..}
    public String getWorld() {..}
    public void setWorld(String world) {..}
    public Long getId() {..}
    public void setId(Long id) {..}
    public Integer getVersion() {..}
    public void setVersion(Integer version) {..}
    public String toString() {..}
    public void persist() {..}
    public void remove() {..}
    public void flush() {..}
    public static Long countHellos() {..}
    public static Hello findHello(Long id) {..}
    public static List findAllHellos() {..}
    public static List findHelloEntries(int start, int finish) {..}
    // there are even more methods
}

Now admittedly, we may not want a bloated API - some of these magic methods we may not need or use - but this is a pretty damn cool idea.

Is mixin support something new in JDK 1.6 or is that available in 1.5 as well?

Have a look at Seam Forge.
