Scala Tools

We are happy to announce that the beta08 release of the Eclipse IDE forScala is ready for download! This release comes in two flavors: the2.9.0-1 version, and the 2.8.2-SNAPSHOT version.
The 2.8 compiler shipped with this version of the plugin is based onthe development branch of 2.8.2, and is fully binary compatible with2.8.1. It contains the same improvements to the presentation compiler as the 2.9 version, and a number of bug fixes related to Java signatures.

Hi,

Scala Fast Compiler always exits after 30 minutes of inactivity. I
read somewhere that 2.9 has new parameter '-max-idle 0' to set an
infinitive timeout.

However '-max-idle' does not seems to work. Was this parameter really
added to Scala 2.9?

Thanks,
Jan Kotek

There was a minor issue with the 2.0.0-beta6 build of the Scala IDE
for 2.9.0-1 which manifested itself as NoSuchMethodErrors being thrown
when Mark Occurrences was enabled in the Scala editor.

We've just released a new 2.0.0-beta7 build which fixes this issue. If
you've already installed 2.0.0-beta6 for 2.9.0-1 we recommend you
update again now. Users of the 2.8.2-SNAPSHOT build are unaffected by
the Mark Occurrences issue and don't need to update again.

Cheers,

Miles

He,

since I have update my Scala Eclipse IDE to http://download.scala-ide.org/releases-29/2.0.0-beta
I continously receive ``illegal cyclic inheritance`` errors. A rebuild
resolves this issue, though. Nevertheless it is annoying to have all
this kind of errors spread over a file although these are none. Is
there a solution/ workaround?

I am using Eclipse SDK, Version: 3.6.2, Build id: M20110210-1200.

Thanks,

I am trying to determine if a ClassSymbol is an Object or a Class:

        ScalaSigParser.parse(cf).foreach(_.symbols.foreach({
            case cs@ClassSymbol(symbolInfo: SymbolInfo, thisTypeRef: Option[Int]) =>
                val cn = symbolInfo.name

Anyone knows how can this be done?

Hi,

Don't if this is the right place for this... but here we go.

Using NetBeans, the nbscala plugin, and scala 2.9.0-1:

When doing a 'def something' it would be nice to have an editor tip or error displayed if 'override' is required. The editor already knows that the method is an override and / or implementation, since it offers me to go to the original source. Is this possible?
