Good morning,

Scala has been getting some interest in the project I work with, and
I've been asked to investigate the Lift framework as a possibility to
migrate our custom coded website to it.  I'm a Scala newbie, so I'm
working on absorbing a lot in a short period of time.

I'm having problems with the "Stating with Lift" found at:
http://liftweb.net/docs/getting_started/mod_master.html

I was able to get everything working up through section 2.8.  I'm
getting stuck in Section 2.12 where it suggests starting the server
and trying the changes from Section 2.9.

Specifically I'm getting hung up with a compile time error with
TD.scala.  First I get these two errors:

$ mvn jetty:run
...
[INFO] Checking for multiple versions of scala
[INFO] Compiling 3 source files to /Users/danielmckagan/Workspaces/
lift-test/todo/target/classes
[WARNING] /Users/danielmckagan/Workspaces/lift-test/todo/src/main/
scala/com/liftworkshop/model/ToDo.scala:29: error: ')' expected but
integer literal found.
[WARNING]     valMinLen(3, ~Description must be 3 characters~) _ ::
[WARNING]                                       ^
[WARNING] /Users/danielmckagan/Workspaces/lift-test/todo/src/main/
scala/com/liftworkshop/snippet/TD.scala:33: error: ')' expected but
'.' found.
[WARNING]       ~priority~ -> todo.priority.toForm,
[WARNING]                         ^
[WARNING] two errors found
...

If I change the '3' to 'three' in the first example, that error falls
away and the second one remains:

...
[INFO] Checking for multiple versions of scala
[INFO] Compiling 3 source files to /Users/danielmckagan/Workspaces/
lift-test/todo/target/classes
[WARNING] /Users/danielmckagan/Workspaces/lift-test/todo/src/main/
scala/com/liftworkshop/snippet/TD.scala:33: error: ')' expected but
'.' found.
[WARNING]       ~priority~ -> todo.priority.toForm,
[WARNING]                         ^
[WARNING] one error found
...

And I can't figure out how to get over it.  I deleted the entire todo
project and started from the beginning, cutting and pasting the
examples, and have gotten the same behavior both times.

This may help...

Any help would be appreciated,
