New Editor for Scala Programmers

Impressive :) Integration with SPDE might make a killer alternative to Nate's troubles maintanably forking PDE.

Thank you. I have not had time to try out SPDE yet, but it looks
interesting. Since there is a sbt plugin for SPDE, I think it is
possible to use ScalaEdit together with SPDE already. However,
ScalaEdit is a work in progress so a lot can probably still be done to
make it as user friendly as PDE seems to be.

Perhaps a tutorial for how to start working with ScalaEdit and SPDE
would be nice for people that already know PDE and that want to get
started with SPDE. I would be happy to read it as well, if someone has
the time to write such a tutorial :)

I get an error:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Desktop API is not supported
on the current platform

No Linux support?

I have used Ubuntu Linux to develop ScalaEdit, so it has Linux support
for sure.

It seems like the Java Desktop API does not support some environments
so that might be the problem:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/102325/not-supported-platforms-for-ja...

The Desktop API is just used to open URLs in the standard web browser
so I don't think it will be much work to fix the problem.

Can you report the issue in the issue tracker so we can continue the
discussion there:

Thank you
