Thanks David. I'm going with some direct calls for simplicity (along the path you suggested). along the lines of:
val rssFeed = XML.load( (new URL (feedUrl)).openConnection.getInputStream ) One more oddity, I'm getting problems compiling normal scala code but I can build lift projects (with scala inside them). Something that I need to add in the config file like a path to the scala binaries? (installed it in windows default spot) for netbeans.conf the netbeans_default_options var, adding -J-Dscala.home=SCALA_HOME where's SCALA_HOME supposed to point to? I tried: -D\"c:\Users\Dude Jones\.netbeans\6.7rc3\scala\scala-2.7.3.final\\" where the binaries are no luck Getting the error: init: deps-jar: Compiling 1 source file to C:\Mark\misc\EntrepreneurInfo \IntelligentAdvertisingSoftware\testo\build\classes Could not connect to compilation daemon. org.netbeans.core.execution.ExitSecurityException: Exit from within execution engine, normal at org.netbeans.core.execution.SecMan.checkExitImpl (SecMan.java:85) at org.netbeans.core.execution.SecMan$PrivilegedCheck.run (SecMan.java:160) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.netbeans.core.execution.SecMan$PrivilegedCheck.check (SecMan.java:175) at org.netbeans.core.execution.SecMan$PrivilegedCheck.checkExit (SecMan.java:170) at org.netbeans.core.execution.SecMan.checkExit(SecMan.java: 69) at org.netbeans.TopSecurityManager.checkExit (TopSecurityManager.java:149) at java.lang.Runtime.exit(Runtime.java:88) at java.lang.System.exit(System.java:904) at scala.Predef$.exit(Predef.scala:81) at scala.tools.nsc.CompileSocket.fatal(CompileSocket.scala:53) at scala.tools.nsc.CompileSocket.getPort(CompileSocket.scala: 175) at scala.tools.nsc.CompileSocket.getsock$1(CompileSocket.scala: 206) at scala.tools.nsc.CompileSocket.getOrCreateSocket (CompileSocket.scala:227) at scala.tools.nsc.StandardCompileClient.main0 (CompileClient.scala:94) at scala.tools.ant.FastScalac.execute(FastScalac.scala:96) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute (UnknownElement.java:288) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor48.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute (DispatchUtils.java:106) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:348) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Sequential.execute (Sequential.java:62) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute (UnknownElement.java:288) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor48.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute (DispatchUtils.java:106) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:348) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.MacroInstance.execute (MacroInstance.java:394) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute (UnknownElement.java:288) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor48.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke (DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute (DispatchUtils.java:106) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:348) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:357) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:385) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeSortedTargets (Project.java:1337) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java: 1306) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor.executeTargets (DefaultExecutor.java:41) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java: 1189) at org.apache.tools.ant.module.bridge.impl.BridgeImpl.run (BridgeImpl.java:278) at org.apache.tools.ant.module.run.TargetExecutor.run (TargetExecutor.java:497) at org.netbeans.core.execution.RunClassThread.run (RunClassThread.java:151) C:\Mark\misc\EntrepreneurInfo\IntelligentAdvertisingSoftware\testo \nbproject\build-impl.xml:405: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\Mark\misc\EntrepreneurInfo\IntelligentAdvertisingSoftware\testo \nbproject\build-impl.xml:229: Compile failed because of an internal compiler error (Exit from within execution engine, normal); see the error output for details.
