Hi, I use Scala with Eclipse as described here: http://www.vogella.de/articles/Scala/article.html
The plugin is already very usable, you only have to clean your project from time to time to remind the Scala compiler to create the correct output. ;-) I also heard the the Scala Eclipse plugin will be greatly enhanced with Scala 2.8.
