Re: IntelliScala plugin released

Great news, I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced. I'm a massive fan of IDEA and wasn't enjoying switching to Eclipse for Scala development.

The editing and highlighting is working fine and I'm probably being dumb but I can't figure out a way to run or debug Scala code. There's no Scala configuration in the list in the run / debug dialog so I've tried using a Java configuration. But the run dialog complains that there's no main method in the class (I've tried objects with main methods and objects that extend Application, both of which work in Eclipse). When I run it the only thing in the console is a ClassNotFoundException. Anyone have any suggestions?

I also can't see any class files in the output directory and there are no messages in the message window to say that something has failed. Compilation completes instantly and the status bar has a message that says "Compilation completed successfully". I don't know if it makes a difference but I'm using Java 1.4.2 because when you're setting up a Scala project it ignores the Java JDK you select and always uses the first one in the list.

Anyway, enough of the problems. It's looking good so far and I can't wait until version 0.2.
