The table below lists the content of a Scala distribution.
Every Scala distribution also contains the packaging program sbaz, which lets you easily install additional resources not included in the distribution; a tutorial on sbaz is available [1].
To reduce the download size, the distribution archives do not contain the full API and PDF documentation. The documentation can be obtained by installing the sbaz [2] packages "scala-devel-docs" and "scala-documentation". You can also, of course, browse the Scala API [3] and PDF manuals [4] online.
