Scala IDE nightlies depend on the nightly of the main Scala toolchain
building. That hasn't been the case since the 14th,

OK, I understand. Thanks for the info.

Sorry, I don't understand. IDE depedens on those but builds when itself
changes, right? Does this mean there's been no changes to the plugin since
the 14th?

Why wouldn't a "nightly" build be triggered when the underlying code
changed?

There have been plenty of changes since the 14th.

The nightly build happens ... nightly. If a part of the build fails it
all fails. Hence no command line tools, no IDE. Try again tomorrow.

Not really. The IDE nightly build is part of the main nightly build.
Nothing is triggered by changes, it's time based. And if one part
fails it all fails.

No. There have been lots of changes since the 14th. But no new nightly
builds since then because the main toolchain build has been failing.

After some annoyances building (e.g. I commented out generating the
scaladoc, man that takes forever), this is working for me:

http://com-bizo-public.s3.amazonaws.com/tools/scala/ch.epfl.lamp.sdt_2.8...

Huge disclaimer that this is just my one-off build, nothing at all
official.

Also, Miles, I'm getting an error about:

AT: RangePosition(Option.scala, 584, 592, 5738)
scala.tools.nsc.FatalError: trait Product does not have a member
productElementName

Given productElementName is post-beta1, should I assume this is because
I'm still using a beta1 library on my project's classpath while the IDE
is nightly?

Thanks,
Stephen

Ouch, yes ... as I was saying, the nightly IDE build is part of the
main nightly toolchain build, and mixing with beta1 libraries is a
recipe for disaster.
