---++ News

  This a minor update of Java-front. In this release, the embedding of
  Java in Stratego has been improved and generalized, to make it
  reusable for embedding in other programming languages.

---+++ Java Syntax Definition

	* Generalized parameterized types to allow any type as actual type
	  argument. The actual limitation to reference type of the current
	  Java version should be enforced by semantic checks, since it is a
	  semantic limitation.

	* Introduced a general sort (=Modifier=) for all modifiers.

---+++ Java Embedding in Stratego

	* =e= is now a meta variable for the left-hand side of an
	  assignment.

	* Added quotations for variables, quotations, names, and modifiers.

	* Added disambiguations to support disabling of heuristic filters in
	 SGLR. These can be disabled by specifying =HeuristicFilters(Off)=
	  in the =.meta= file. See the news of [[StrategoRelease013][StrategoXT 0.13]] for more
	  information.

	* Removed the quotation with explicit disambiguation for a list of
	  block statement. This is always ambiguous with a single block
	  statement, which only shows up if you disable the heuristic
	  filters of sglr.
