Actually it's not necessary to install the Scala IDE as root, however,
due to an Eclipse limitation which will go away in 3.5 when it's
finally released there are a few hoops you have to jump through to
make it work.

You can find detailed instructions here,

See the section headed "Installing JDT Weaving in a non-default location".

Cheers,
