Where are best places to ask Scala-related Java questions?

I find javaranch.com to be pretty handy.
Also, my Java code is positively littered with:
/* testing feature XYZ */ public static void main (String [] args)
throws Exception { java.io.File f = new File("blah"); if (f.XYZ)
...... System.out.println("Got result: " + ... }
In most cases I leave the main in the source code so that the next
person who needs to muck around can see why I used a specific API the
way I did.
(I apologize if this tactic is quite well known to you and you are in
fact banging against a tremendously obscure and arcane feature of the
File API. I did not mean to insult anyone's intelligence. )

Don't worry, I know so little it's hard to insult my intelligence :-).
In this case,
I'm wondering about those weird and wonderful situations that arise when
one has transferred files from say, a MS system, and some of those
files have
characters in them that are Bad Voodoo on a UNIX system. So I posted the
question to Javaranch, thanks for the tip.

The #scala IRC channel on freenode. I would hope they are not deemed
off-topic here also.

StackOver flow is pretty good these days...
