I've used  Rats! parser generator heavily on Scala/Erlang plugin for NetBeans, but not write a plugin for Rats! itself.

So I spent my weekend days on a simple Rats! editor module, which implemented syntax highlighting. It's built on Scala.

Here's the snapshot:

It will be available in couple of days.

I'm pleased to announce Erlang plugin (ErlyBird) version 1 for NetBeans 6.7 is released.

NetBeans 6.7 RC3 or above is a requirement.

What's new:

• It's rewritten in Scala instead of Java
• More reliable instant rename
• Display extracted document information from source comment when doing auto-completion

To download, please go to:  https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=192439&package_id=226387

To install:

• Open NetBeans, go to "Tools" -> "Plugins", click on "Downloaded" tab title, click on "Add Plugins..." button, choose the directory where the Erlang plugin are unzipped, select all listed *.nbm files, following the instructions.
• Make sure your Erlang bin path is under OS environment PATH, you can also check/set your OTP path: From [Tools]->[Erlang Platform], fill in the full path of your 'erl.exe' or 'erl' file in "Interpreter", for instance: "C:/erl/bin/erl.exe". Or open the "Brows" dialog to locate the erlang installation.

<li>When you open/create an Erlang project first time, the OTP libs will be indexed. Take a coffee and wait, the indexing time varies from 10 to 30 minutes depending on your computer.

Feedback and bug reports are welcome.

There are couple of reports on "Could not connect to compilation daemon.", mostly under Windows OS. It's a known issue, to resolve it, please check the following:

• SCALA_HOME is set to a fresh installed Scala runtime
• PATH includes $SCALA_HOME/bin
• If the build task still complain, try to run "fsc" or "scala" in a command window first
