Traits provide a mechanism for fine-grained code reuse to overcome the limitations of class-based inheritance. A trait is a set of methods which is completely independent from any class hierarchy and can be flexibly used to build other traits or classes by means of a suite of composition operations. We present: (i) a formulation of traits which aims to achieve complete compatibility and interoperability with the Java platform without reducing the flexibility of traits, and (ii) an integration with Eclipse which aims to support an incremental adoption of traits in existing Java projects. Indeed, the proposed trait language can coexist with Java code. Single parts of a project can be refactored to use traits, without requiring a complete rewrite of the whole existing code-base.
