Is there scala plugin compatible with Spring Source Tools Suit?

Question

I am using STS based on eclipe 2.6.2 and there is a scala plugin for eclipse

http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/scala-ide

but it is not compatible with STS.

Is there anything other plugin.

I mainly need it debug play framework scala projects.

Answer 1

The Eclipse IDE for Scala should work with STS. I just tried it with version 2.6.1.RELEASE (build id 201105041000).

Make sure you do not select JDT Weaving for Scala when installing the Scala plugin. The JDT weaving component is provided already by STS (albeit an older version). The Scala plugin comes with a newer version, that upsets the AspectJ plugin (included by STS).

Even easier, you can use the Dashboard view, 'Extensions' page. You can check the Scala IDE from there, and it correctly leaves out the JDT weaving plugin.

If you have any other issues, use the mailing list ([email protected]) or file a ticket.
