Employ Scala's Native Compiler in Scala for NetBeans

Fixed document displaying and go to declaration for Java element.
Please update to Scala Editing version 1.1.4
======

Well, it's a fairly long time after I latest blog about Scala for NetBeans. I was busy on several things, and can only work on this project on my spare time.

The good news is that I've integrated Scala's native compiler into this handy plugin, it means that the error messages shown in the editor will be the same as building now. And, the auto-completion feature is totally rewritten too, which also use AST tree that was created by Scala's native compiler to get all the candidate content assistant items.

The only problem is that the Java's document comments and offset to be go to when press CTRL + Click does not work properly yet, I have several way to resolve it, but I'm looking for a best way.

Another exciting news is that I've been invited to join NetBeans Dream Team, and of course, I accepted this invitation.

I'm planning to get Scala plugin for NetBeans to beta release in August, which will be compatible with NetBeans 6.5

Does the plugin work in NB 6.5 dev builds, too?

Daniel, yes, I think it works in NB 6.5 dev builds.

Hi Caoyuan,

I am very interested in AIOTrade, especially Neural Network module for prediction. I have downloaded binary and run but do not know how to run Neural Network. Then I downloaded SVN opencommunity and build it as documented in README.TXT, again find nothing to run Neural Network.

Could you please inform me how to activate that module as you presented in your post "Prediction 4 Months Ago and Actual Trends Today, by Neural Network" ?

Thank you very much before, Dudi

Hi Caoyuan,

Do you still plan to work on erlybird? sf.net contains old(0.15x) code, is there any way to see/get latest erlybird code?

Thanks

Dudi,

AIOTrade is pending now, I'm planning to rewrite it in Scala. Source code of Neural Network is there, but lack GUI/Doc to handle it, I have no plan to enhance this.

Alex, ErlyBird will be rewritten too in the near future, currently only, suit on sf.net is available.

Hi Caoyuan,

Thank you for excellent plugin. I have just completed my 'A novice Scala programmer: Eclipse vs. IntelliJ IDEA vs. Netbeans.' mini-series and would appreciate any comments.  http://pro-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/07/novice-scala-programmer-eclipse-vs_3251.html
