Just as an addendum, for my setup the boostrapping approach of Andys
works, which I agree indicates the osgi side of the fence in the
plugin has got broke somehow. It'd be great if others can also
confirm this as I'm sure any info will be of help to Miles.

cheers,
Chris

Further testing on linux shows much less problems*. I have also looked
through the manifests and they seem fine. It seems to be some file
separator related errors.

Are any linux/unix users having similar problems??

cheers,
Chris

* code completion doesn't seem to work and the

Companions 'object TestScala' and 'class TestScala' must be defined
in same file.

error is there but no classpath errors.

I've had no luck with nightlies. I've tried with 3.5rc3 and 3.5rc4 on
CentOS 5.3 with jdk_1.6_14
