Scala Supporting for NetBeans Updated#2 - 20080112

Warning:

Scala for NetBeans is still under development. All these releases are experimental, they may be unstable yet.

Change Log:

• Can be installed on NetBeans 6.0
• Fixed some syntax broken
• Various bugs fixes

• Syntax checking, highlighting, code folding, navigator, basic indent
• Basic completion, In-place refactoring, occurrences marks
• Interactive Scala shell. [Windows] -> [Interactive Scala Shell]
• Basic Scala project management with file locator for compile Errors

• Requires NetBeans 6.0 or newest NetBeans Nightly build (get from: http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/)
• Don't forget to set your SCALA_HOME environment first, or append "-J-Dscala.home=scalahomepath" to the end of "netbeans_default_options" in your netbeans.conf file, where, "scalahomepath" is your Scala home's absolute path. For example: /Users/dcaoyuan/apps/scala/share/scala/ (For Windows users, it's better to set both of them).
  The netbeans.conf is located at "pathToNetBeansInstallationDirectory/etc", in Mac OSX, it could be:
  /Applications/NetBeans/NetBeans\ 6.0.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc

Known Issues:

• Do not write old-style ForComprehension "for (val i <- ...)", instead, use "for(i <- ...)". Please see Scala Spec 2.6.0+
• Do not put infix/postfix operator at the beginning of new line even in a parenthesis expression
• When "<" is an operator, put a space after "<" to identify it from a xml element
