What is the current status of that?
I started out using that, and I left it because of the workflow:
- start an eclipse project
- fail to add dependencies
- try to make the eclipse project into an sbt project
- fail
- throw everything away
- start an sbt project
- eclipsify the project
- work in eclipse until it stops working for one or the other reason
- try to fix the project in sbt
- re-eclipsify
- hope it works
- do things to get the eclipse environment and the sbt environment in sync (environment variables/java version, scala version)
- ask around
- nobody uses scala-IDE
Scala-IDE didn’t use to be a solution: realistically speaking your build is going to be sbt based, and keeping your sbt build and eclipse project in sync used to be a non-trivial exercise.
As long as that’s still the case - if it is still the case - Scala-IDE isn’t a good start for new scala programmers IMO.
