Re: Simple syntax highlighting plugin in eclipse

@All : Thanks guys for your answers. Sounds promising.

@Ben : When I've got to edit a couple of scala files I don't want to :
1) Edit my .project file
2) Create an edit my .classpath file
3) Go into the preferences, enable / disable a couple of options
4) Find out the indentation does not work (it's using one single space, and using tab won't move the cursor)
5) Have to fill bug reports for things that do not work and wait for them to be fixed (I'm willing to fill bug reports for other things but not for that)

You are right that having an IDE with code completion, debugging and refactoring would be way better. Since this tool is not yet here, and like you said everyone agrees, I'm looking for a simpler but robust cross-platform alternative (I was happy with text mate before but I couldn't find any equivalent under linux).

Thanks, Bruno

Can you describe what you dont like or find difficult with the plugin?
It may well be fixable with less effort than creating a separate
cut-down plugin.

Ultimately, the plugin is trying to provide the best environment in
which to work with Scala code, from casual use to read a single source
file through to developing, running and debugging large projects.  If
it was "good enough", you presumably wouldn't need to fall back to
something more basic. (note: everyone agrees it isn't quite there just
yet.)
