Bundled Latest Scala Runtime to Scala for NetBeans

I just bundled latest Scala runtime to Scala for NetBeans, the version is 2.7.1.final, this brings two things:

First, you do not need to set SCALA_HOME any more to get whole plugins working. But, you can still set SCALA_HOME to specifying the target Scala version, if so, you should also need to download and unzip source jars to $SCALA_HOME/src;

Second, I'll begin to write some code in Scala instead of Java for Scala plugins. I can evaluate the features of Scala plugins in daily work, find and fix more bugs of plugins.

Nice, not having to set SCALA_HOME makes it easier to get working out of the box on the mac. Keep up the good work, this is shaping up to beat the eclipse plugin hands down.

hey, really really nice work.

some (i hope helpful) feedback:

* println does not get auto-completed

* if a declare a variable val s = "test" s won't be autocompleted for System.out.println(s.<hit ctrl+space here>) * Sys<ctrl+space> won't autocomplete to System page down/up does not work while choosing from auto complete list.

"page down/up does not work while choosing from auto complete list." is not working because of the jvi plugin, not because of your plugin. sorry about that

looks like the autocompletion won't work in the paramater area ie. val s = "test" somefunction.add(s.<ctrl+space>) won't autocomplete for string (just for java.lang.Object)

Hi poko,

The autocomplete feature is under developing, above issues are not solved yet.

Hi Caoyuan, I understand that, I just wanted to help you with some feedback. (is there a bug tracking system where I should report problems?)

I really appreciate your work!!!!!
