If this change also affects fsc ant task (I think so), then NetBeans
should benefit from it too. We may build a snapshot and test it. (Do
not need to wait for a new org-netbeans-libs-scala.nbm, which is only
used to run plugin itself, all "ant build" on regular scala project
created by NetBeans will be applied upon $SCALA_HOME)

BTW, the original bug seemed only affected Eclipse plugin. For
NetBeans, the project is built via fsc ant task, it should already be
that only dependent files are re-built when one source is modified.

Say, when

- edit some A.scala,
- switch to some B.scala with main()
- Shift-F6

it is common to get an error "type X noy found" on attempt to compile A.scala,
where X is, say, a trait defined in third C.scala file. Probably, it is
something related to "not-complete-parsing" problem.

...or just edit A.scala, F11 and get "type X not found".

(latests trunk is in use)

Caoyuan,

Another frequent error (just on F11) is like such one:

"error: value cd is not a member of package ab
import ab.cd._
one error found"

Of course, package "ab.cd" does exist.

I'll take a look later. BTW, you are using the latest Scala 2.8.0
trunk code, right?

Sure! - both the plugin and Scala itself (if last one buildable).
