Indeed, that's fantastic.  My co-workers now have no excuse for
trundling along with Netbeans and Eclipse!

Three open-source zero-cost Scala IDE's is better than two :-)

Great! Seems we can share more code on Scala now.

Has anyone tried the IDEA Scala plugin lately?  Care to comment on how
it compares to the Eclipse and Netbeans plugins?

This is excellent news!  I've been using 8.1 and then Maia builds, and
it gets better and better.  Normally, there you update the Scala
plugin from the preferences, no need to manually install the nightly
zip -- will it still be the case?

Ian -- I did use IDEA exclusively, it's superb.  I didn't feel any
need to try Eclipse's or Netbeans's Scala -- IDEA does it all, and it
even supports Maven very well.  This doesn't reflect on the fine folks
who develop those plugins, it's just that I come to JVM with a clean
slate, without Netbeans/Eclispe compatibility requirements, and IDEA
was the right choice for me.

BTW, will Maven still be supported in the community edition?

Cheers,
Alexy

Superb news. I've been a fan of IDEA since the first release, you've
always been one step ahead of the competition. Open sourcing the product
can only help accelerate the progress.

Although i bet it has to change how one thinks about revenue stream ;-).

Best wishes,

It appears one must use this nightly

  http://download.jetbrains.com/scala/scala-intellij-bin-0.3.20.zip

Being a noob to this IDE, I tried the previous one (http://download.jetbrains.com/scala/scala-intellij-bin-0.2.27337.zip, the one with 4 stars :-) and it did not work; Scala was listed as "Scala (incompatible)" in IDEA, and Scala was not listed as a technology/facet option in the new project wizard (only Groovy).

The Oct 15 nightly (0.3.20) does work with the community edition (so far).

The tutorial http://jetbrains.net/confluence/display/SCA/Getting+Started+with+IntelliJ+IDEA+Scala+Plugin
is slightly out of date; the screenshots don't match exactly, and the instructions leave off a bit about
creating run configurations etc.

I use it all day long, 5 days a week and I think it is by far the best one.

Excellent news!!!

FWIW, the moment I discovered IDEA, there was no other choice for me as far as Java development is concerned. This IDE is truly made for productivity. I have also been doing my Scala coding there almost exclusively lately. 

With all three IDE platforms now open-source, power is unleashed.

Only 5 days a week? I thought you were coding like mad...

Apparently, Intllij's community edition does not include enterprise application development tools, at least according to their comparison charts (between community edition and the 'for fee' edition).   Support for server side stuff like php, xsl/xpath, rails, jsp, ejb, struts, jboss, tomcat.  Other tools like uml diagramming, commercial scm are missing.  Also, support for gwt, flex/air, and android is not provided either.   I guess this is ok for those who are developing in the 'standard edition' level applications and some of these are not available in eclipse/netbeans either.  But mostly for those who are developing applications for the server runtime, the landscape hasn't  changed by this announcement. 

So, a community edition of intellij is noteworthy, but not enough for me, as an eclipse server side developer, to jump over.

The scala plugin is free in the commuity edition, but for some eclipse or netbeans developers in the application server environment, scala support in intellij is irrelevant.

Regards,
John

So you use something else on the weekends?  :)
