Note:
skript-reflect will stop supporting Skript versions below 2.6 when a stable Skript 2.6 version is released. This means that this could be the last skript-reflect version that supports 2.5.3 and 2.2-dev36.

Changelog:

• Allow primitives in class literal expression
• Improve inner class import system, for example set {_phase} to EnderDragon.Phase.LEAVE_PORTAL if EnderDragon is imported
• Fix Java calls with numerical wrapper parameter types
• Fix custom event expression with only data specified
• Fix custom expression with return type being allowed in places where a different type is required
