[scala-tools] Scala IDE errors

[John Ky]

Hi all,

I just installed the Scala Eclipse IDE 2.7.6.final, on Eclipse 3.5.0, and I get the errors shown in the attached JPEG image.

I'm only just starting to learn Scala, but it seems everything I type is an error.

Does anyone know what is going on and can lend a hand?

Cheers,

-John

Looks to me that JDT-weaving is disabled (check in the preferences).

As Carsten said, from that screenshot it's most likely that JDT
Weaving is disabled.

Have you followed the troubleshooting instructions here?

Hi Miles, Carston,

Thanks for the help.

I downloaded and installed a fresh Eclipse 3.5.1 and installed Scala and it worked right up.  The version of Eclipse I was using before was 3.5.0 and also had the Groovy, Clojure, and Subclips plugins.

I don't know what the cause was, as so many variables are different.  Perhaps Eclipse was lying about the JDT Weaving - or the multiple language plugins don't play nice with each other?

Cheers,

-John

It might well have been a conflict with the Groovy plugin ... Andy
Clement and I are working on getting the Scala and Groovy tooling to
play nicely together.

Hi out there,

I noticed there is a new AspectJ weaver available, as of version 1.6.6.

Alas, my problem with Scala and load-time weaving persists with this new
version.

So I eventually decided to give it a try and build/patch the weaver on
my own. If it's really only that `$$' stuff in the Scala-class names I
should be able to track down the problem and propose a patch.

But where to obtain the sources? Where is the weaver's SCM repository? I
tried the CVS repo `:pserver:anonymous@...:/cvsroot/tools',
but it doesn't look like it contains what I want.

So if anybody can point me to the right CVS/SVN address it would be a
great help for me.

The Eclipse SVN repo I was aware of, `http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot',
seems to have vanished altogether.

Regards
---Phil

Hi Miles,

I just installed Groovy and Clojure after having installed Scala and everything is working fine.  I have a feeling the installation order matters.

Anyway, I'm happy it all works now.

Cheers,

For those that might be interested: I found that adding four lines to
`BcelObjectType.getOuterClass' seems to fix the Scala issues with the
weaver (lines 2 through 5):

1 String superClassName = className.substring(0, lastDollar);
2 final String anon = "$$anon"; // Scala
3 if (superClassName.endsWith(anon)) {
4 superClassName = superClassName.substring(0, superClassName.length()
- anon.length());
5 }
6 UnresolvedType outer = UnresolvedType.forName(superClassName);

Now things seem to work perfectly for me, but I'll have to do some more
testing ...

Cheers

Hi Miles,

No, it's definitely Groovy.  Just sometimes it just looks like Scala is okay, but not really.

Thanks for the clarification.

Cheers,
