[Lift] Netbeans 6.8 issues with Lift

2009-12-25 Thread GA
Hello guys, I have upgraded my Netbeans from 6.7 to 6.8 and the very same Lift code started to report some errors. The code compiles correctly from the command line, but it reports error in the GUI. One of the errors is the following: This method: def dispatch: LiftRules.DispatchPF = {

It would be really good for us as a team to know what it is you *dont* get? Is it conceptual? code? If we can understand what is daunting for newbies that would really be helpful. Cheers, Tim On Dec 25, 2:51 pm, greekscala hellectro...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I would like to hear more about,

That would be because the 6.8 plugin uses scala 2.8 which we do not support. See some of the recent threads on the mailing list. Cheers, Tim On 25 Dec 2009, at 12:38, GA wrote: Hello guys, I have upgraded my Netbeans from 6.7 to 6.8 and the very same Lift code started to report some

I mostly agree with what David said and I'll add this: * I think _? and _! in methods come from Ruby, but they don't fit the naming conventions in Java/Scala (I think Scala should mostly follow Java conventions with some exceptions). This is a really minor point though. * object User extends
