Netbeans scala plugin - no documentation

Question

I have installed Netbeans 6.7.1 with Scala plugin as described here. I got my "Hello World" project to compile and run.

The problem I have now is that there is no documentation available for Scala functions and classes, all I get is No document found.

In the Scala Platform Manager I have both sources and javadoc not empty and directories listed there exist. What can be wrong?

If you can upgrade to Netbeans 6.9, you could try http://scala-forum.org/read.php?22,2120,2127#msg-2127 :

I think the project location has changed several times since the start of the NetBeans plugin which causes a lot of confusion. In addition most documentations, blog entries and articles are out-of-date. I've searched myself for quite some time for a new version of the plugin.

BUT the plugin for NB 6.9 is available at Sourceforge! Just try it. It works for me with NetBeans 6.9.1 almost without problems. Though there is still plenty of room for improvements as I said.

Good Luck.
