Xtend: Strange error message for void as a field type

[LorenzoBettini]

When you use void for an Xtend field the error message is

Primitive void cannot be a dependency.

Coming from XtendValidator

	@Check
	public void checkNoVoidInDependencyDeclaration(XtendField dep) {
		JvmTypeReference declaredFieldType = dep.getType();
		if (isPrimitiveVoid(declaredFieldType)) {
			error("Primitive void cannot be a dependency.", dep.getType(), null, INVALID_USE_OF_TYPE);
		}
	}

Why not something similar to parameters' corresponding error message void is an invalid type for the field...

You're right, this is very poor feedback and dates back to one of the first versions of Xtend. Please make the necessary adjustments to improve the message.
