Roadmap
Scala IDE for Eclipse - Helium
It is an ambitious plan, specially for milestone 1. The idea being to work on the most complex change first, the Scala model, and start on other items, so they can be refined by the time of the final release.
The targeted roadmap, with the name of the lead contributor(s) for each item:
Milestone 1 - mid-March delayed to April 2012
- Move to Eclipse Indigo - Eric Molitor - #1000852 done
- Implicit highlighting - Jin Mingjian, David Bernard and Mirko Stocker - #1000628 done
- Semantic highlighting - Matt Russell - #1000591 done
- Move Refactoring - Mirko Stocker - done
- Improved logging - Typesafe Team - #1000880 - done
- Design and implement a Scala model - Typesafe team - #1000861 - done
- Create an abstraction layer with the Scala compiler - Typesafe team - #1000862 - (Moved to Milestone 2 because backporting to 2.9 is harder than expected.)
- Smoother step over/in in the debugger - Typesafe team - #1000864 - done
- Extract the presentation compiler in its own project - Typesafe team - #1000867 (Reconsidered: The Presentation Compiler is too coupled to the compiler.)
