Where We Are - Rewriting Scala for NetBeans
>>> Updated:
The rewritten plugin will be available, depending on the NetBeans' nightly build, it may be available after 10 hours or more. New features include a formatter (CTRL+SHIFT+F), and better brace completer. Smart auto-completion does not work now, needs further working.

The new Scala for NetBeans is going to form a good shape, I've got syntax highlighting, indentation, formatting, brace matching, and basic structure outline working. Here's a snapshot showing complex Scala statements being highlighted and reformatted properly:

Hey Caoyan -- I've just started getting into Scala and your plugin has been a life-saver.
One question, though: I don't seem to be able to run a Scala object without configuring it (manually) as the project main class and running the whole project -- I get an exception in SourceUtils.getMainClasses(). Is this a known issue?
I'm new to NetBeans as well -- installed it just to run your plugin, after being dissatisfied with Eclipse and IDEA Scala support -- so I'm not sure I haven't got something misconfigured.
In any case, thanks for the great work you've put in so far.
