Formatting Eclipse plug-in nightly
Fri, 2009-09-18, 23:56
Hello all,
Does anyone have the Eclipse nightly plug-in working? I seem to be
getting the same syntax highlighting for Scala as I do with Java. I've
tried restoring the settings, but that doesn't seem to help. I also
something related in the bug tracker.
I'm using eclipse-SDK-3.5-linux-gtk with the latest nightly, JDT
weaving is enabled.
Does anyone hack at the plug-in using windows?

That's a feature, not a bug.
On trunk, Scala syntax highlighting is now driven using the exact same
mechanism that the JDT uses for Java. As a consequence it's far more
robust than it used to be when driven by scalac: specifically, syntax
and semantic errors no longer completely disable syntax highlighting.
Semantic highlighting (eg. differential highlighting of vals vs. vars)
will be coming back to trunk very soon.
Cheers,
Miles
