[scala-tools] eclipse plugin nightlies - who is using them??

[Chris Twiner]

Hi All,

I, and at least Andrew Foggin, have been trying to use the nightlies
for the last two weeks without much joy:

http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/2033

If there are others of you out there for whom the nightlies do work,
could you please share some configuration details?

My attempted failed combinations are (all on windows):

3.4.1 existing working installation and upgrade
3.4.2 fresh installation (j2ee package and java sdk) and plugin install
3.5rc3 fresh installation (j2ee package and java sdk) and plugin install

Its my hope that finding some differences in configuration can help
resolve the problem.

cheers and thanks in advance,
Chris

PS( for those wondering why I'm interested in the nightlies, its
because I'm trying to target 2.8 itself.  I'm interested in particular
with the new package object and default arguments goodies)

Just as an addendum, for my setup the boostrapping approach of Andys
works, which I agree indicates the osgi side of the fence in the
plugin has got broke somehow.  It'd be great if others can also
confirm this as I'm sure any info will be of help to Miles.

cheers,
Chris

Further testing on linux shows much less problems*. I have also looked
through the manifests and they seem fine.  It seems to be some file
separator related errors.

Are any linux/unix users having similar problems??

cheers,
Chris

* code completion doesn't seem to work and the

 Companions 'object TestScala' and 'class TestScala' must be defined
in same file.

error is there but no classpath errors.

I've had no luck with nightlies.  I've tried with 3.5rc3 and 3.5rc4 on
CentOS 5.3 with jdk_1.6_14
