Thanks, I got the wrong thing. I'm trying it now.

I would report the issue on the IDEA plugin forum: http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/community/idea/scala

Have more than one Hotmail account? Link them together to easily access both.

So now I'm running Community Edition 90.193.

Scala plugin from the plugin manager doesn't work.

I also tried these versions to no success (still the scala plugin
appears as incompatible):
* scala-intellij-bin-0.3.236.zip, top link from
http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/SCA/Scala+Plugin+Nightly+Builds
* scala-intellij-bin-0.3.200.zip, top link from
http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?idea&id=1347
* scala-intellij-bin-0.3.221.zip, from somewhere around there

Neither resolves the issue. Perhaps I'm installing these in the wrong
way, here is what I do.
I go to
C:\Documents and Settings\Jim\.IntelliJIdea90\config\plugins

There is a "Scala" folder there, due to the scala plugin I originally
downloaded from the plugin manager. It only contains a lib and some
jars. So I just replace these jars with the jars found in the zip file
of each different plugin version, and restart the ide. Perhaps I
should be also changing something else? What do I miss here?

Thanks,
Dimitris

"IntelliJ itself" isn't singly defined. There are two editions:
Community Edition and Ultimate Edition.

There are EAP releases of IDEA Ultimate Edition and source access and
binary builds for the Community Edition.

The latest EAP build of Ultimate is here:

The latest build of CE available is 90.193:

I don't know about this. I'm using 8.1.3 with current published version
of the Scala plug-in as available through the plug-in manager.

I gave up and went back to 9939, for what it's worth. Seems like a slow
motion car-crash, IDEA 9.

It's an unreleased piece of software that you're getting a *nightly* build of via their EAP. I found it surprisingly useable, considering.
 

New! Receive and respond to mail from other email accounts from within Hotmail Find out how.

Alright, I got a working point (with some JB help, not alone of
course) in the versioning space!

Community Edition 90.193
http://download.jetbrains.com/scala/scala-intellij-bin-0.3.177.zip

I tried it, and it works fine. It seems the incompatibility was
introduced by later versions of the plugin.

Thanks for the tip. That worked perfectly. I played with it a bit and I kind of like the IDEA way alot. I have some doubts that maybe some one can clear out:

1) When running Scala as a Mavem Module do I have to run the compile every time to get any errors. If I do a:

println("This is "+ )

I will not get any error until I run the Maven Compile

2) How far is the IDEA Scala plugin down it's development plan? I mean it does a lot of thing well but is only version 0.3, is that just a conservative approach to versioning or are we months away from a complete plugin?

3) I can only launch a application (Java Application launch target) if there is an explicit def main in the object. Is that a shortcoming?

1. The IDEA plugin has its own implementation of type inference / implicit conversions etc. This is a work in progress. It currently doesn't highlight unresolved references (like the '+' method in your example) as errors as there would be too many false errors.
 
When you compile the project (either with maven, or just with build -> compile), the compile errors emitted by Scalac are listed, and you see the full set of errors.

2. Most of the work in the plugin is targeting IntelliJ 9 and Scala 2.8, which is still a moving target. I don't think there is an official timeline for the plugin, but my feeling is that it will stabilise around Jan/Feb

3. You can also directly run a scala script, for example "def foo = 1; println(foo)". What else were you thinking of?

I very cautiously upgraded to 92.65 with the today's scala plugin build,
and it is a LOT better. These guys have been busy...

My expectations were that an announced beta would have some measure of
stability, which it did not (for me), but it seems back on track. Which
is an enormous relief....

Is this the community edition? How did you update?

My expectations were that an announced beta would have some measure of
stability, which it did not (for me), but it seems back on track.  Which
is an enormous relief....

I'm using the commercial (IU?) version. Just downloaded it, manually
unzipped the plugin into the config/plugins dir, and off I ran.

One of the things that plagued me previously has started happening again.

It starts with "please attach scala-compiler.jar to any module" (even
though it's in the pom.xml as a "provided" dependency -- that used to
work in an older plugin). I attach it, then I can't build anything,
with just the message, "Error: Internal error (Plugin:
org.intellij.scala): null".

I realize this isn't exactly an IntelliJ support forum ... just
wondering if I'm the only one who gets this.

Thanks,
Eric

I organize my scala projects in IDEA as follows.

1. Create project; do *not* add a Scala facet to the project at this stage
2. Navigate to the project settings and attach a global-library.
3. Create a new global library called 2.8.0rc1 (or whatever), attaching the relevant classes (scala-library.jar and scala-compiler.jar and sources)
4. Now add the scala facet to your *modules*

You should be able to compile scala code just fine now.

For me, upgrading to 2.7.7 from 2.7.5 seems to have solved the problem,
though I haven't dived into every nook and cranny yet. All my projects
are heavily maven-driven. I massively resist the urge to ever add
global libraries, etc., since I have to keep repeating that and its
error-prone (and risks getting out of sync with the maven dependencies
declaration). Anyhow, so far so good.
