[ANN] New home and user/developer resources for the Scala IDE Eclipse

Hi Miles,

Does release of the plugin will continue to be aligned to scala or gain also independency is release cycle (and the release of scalac) ?

As just announced at Scala Days, the Scala IDE for Eclipse is moving
to a new home,

 http://www.scala-ide.org/

with the main user and developer resources now hosted at Assembla,

 http://scala-ide.assembla.com/wiki/show/scala-ide

The primary motivation for this move is to dramatically reduce the
barriers to people contributing to the IDE at all levels (code,
documentation, bug reports, related components). In the end the case
for git, a better wiki, and a streamlined build process based on
Tycho/Maven 3.0 (yes, hell just froze over ;-) became irresistible.

I'm also delighted to report that Mirko Stocker has argeed to include
his Scala refactoring project, and Matt Russell his Scala source code
formatter project under the same umbrella,

 http://scala-ide.assembla.com/

I hope that these will be the first two of many new and exciting collaborations.

We've also taken the opportunity to set up two lists dedicated to the
IDE, as user list,

 http://groups.google.com/group/scala-ide-user

and a developer list,

 http://groups.google.com/group/scala-ide-dev

and I'm looking for to seeing all of you there!

The migration process is well under way, but not quite completed
(moving the entire change and linked ticket history from EPFL is going
well, but is a little tricky as you can probably imagine). For updates
on progress please follow @ScalaIDE on Twitter,

Oh, and I'd like to thank Richard Dallaway and Jono Ferguson of Spiral
Arm for all their hard work making this happen,

Cheers,


Miles

I'm hoping that following the 2.8 final release the IDE will be able
to make releases more frequently than the main Scala toolchain. But
there will still be simultaneous releases of the IDE with each main
toolchain release.

Miles

How about the opposite, will we see releases built against semi-stable releases of the scala library?
We all know that RC1 has issues, but maybe something pinned to RC2?
