New Scala Plugin for NetBeans 6.5 RC2 Is Packed

I packed a new Scala plugin, and tried several times to upload it to NetBeans' Plugins Portal and could not get job successfully done. So I uploaded it to sourceforge.net instead. The zip file is located at: scala-plugin-081106.zip

NetBeans' trunk has been targeting 7.0 now, the plugin on "Last Development Build" update center is no longer compatible with 6.5 RC2. That is, you should ignore my previous blog talked about installing plugin on 6.5 RC2, if you are using 6.5 RC2, you should download and install this one.

Nightly built version users can get latest plugin via NetBeans' plugin management feature as normal.

For more information, please visit http://wiki.netbeans.org/Scala

This version fixed various bugs, and with some enhancements. The bundling Scala runtime is 2.7.2RC6, with NetBeans' maven plugin, it works on newest Liftweb project.

Bug reports are always welcome.

Wow, this is great. I'm trying out the plugin for the first time, and it "just works". Good job!

Hi, thanks for the 2.7.2 update!

It worked fine, until just now. When updating the plugins catalog, Netbeans told me there were new versions of teh Scala Kit and the Scala runtime library. Foolishly, I clicked to download these two. Now I've got:
Scala Kit Version: 0.12.0
and
Scala Runtime Library Version: 2.7.27.0
(Notice the peculiar Scala version number!).

When trying to compile a Scala file, I now get:

Could not load definitions from resource scala/tools/ant/antlib.xml. It could not be found.

Best wishes,
Nizze

Nizze,

Are you using nightly build version of NetBeans? or NetBeans 6.5RC2?

I use NetBeans 6.5RC2 (sorry, forgot to mention that).

Nizze,

Do not update Scala modules from any update center for NetBeans 6.5RC2, only wait for modules that I put on somewhere.

All modules on update center are only work on NetBeans latest nightly built now

OK, thanks for your help.

I've done a clean install, and it seems to work again.

(The Scala runtime is back to version 2.7.26.0.)

Thanks,
/Nizze
