| public void setPrimarySourceElement(MutableElement javaElement, Element sourceElement) Associates the generate element with the Xtend source code. Every generated element should have a source element. This information is used by features like "Go to Declaration" and the outline view. A typical use case (generating a getter for a field) would look like this:
myClass.declaredFields.forEach[field|
myClass.addMethod("get" + field.simpleName.toFirstUpper) [
primarySourceElement = field
// return type, body etc...
]
]
This way, the getter generated in the active annotation above would be associated with the field in the Xtend source code.
Notice that we passed the field from the Java AST as a source element. This is a shortcut for
primarySourceElement = field.primarySourceElement
