We are very happy to announce the final release of the Scala IDE for Eclipse V2.0.1.
This is a maintenance release containing only bug fixes, upgrade is recommended for all users.
In 2.0.0 the IDE delivered better incremental compilation by building on the already proven Sbt incremental compiler. In 2.0.1 we improve on the Eclipse builder by following Sbt more closely when dealing with dependent projects:
In 2.0.1, the Eclipse builder compiles exactly the same number of files at the command line Sbt.
We fixed a couple of small, but annoying editor issues: double braces are inserted and deleted together, completions that need an additional import won’t mess up the file, and Open Declaration works when called from the contextual menu.
This release is based on Scala 2.9.2, and includes a couple of improvements in the way compiler plugins are loaded, including the continuations plugin. Now you can have several compiler plugins loaded side-by-side, and properly use the Xpluginsdir option.
For a complete list of changes, please see the Changelog
This version works with both Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) and 3.7 (Indigo). We developed and tested it using Java 6, but Java 7 can be used with some caveats.
