ps found a nice code framework to help with my initial setup here from Ted Neward http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-scala06029.html Will use some of those classes/objects to get started (Ted's cool with it as long as I show him how it ends up) On Jul 1, 6:28 pm, Naftoli Gugenhem

Yeah Naftoli it was m2eclipse. May have been my failure to set SCALA_HOME and the path properly. I'll review it next time I do an eclipse setup (hopefully not for a while now that netbeans is cooking with scala/lift) Seriously, thanks much for all the feedback and help gents. On Jul 1, 6:28 pm,

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

Thanks think I'm making progress following this: http://wiki.netbeans.org/Scala after the install of 6.7RC3, jdk, scala plugin, lift, maven (used it to get a test lift project) my lift project worked with scala code inside the project but what I didn't do was set SCALA_HOME, my class path

mark, take a look at: http://is.gd/1iUJN That should provide you some guidance. I notice from your example your trying to parse the twitter feed? Perhaps if you want to do something with twitter you should consider a proper twitter api lib: http://code.google.com/p/java-twitter/ Cheers, Tim

Personally, I'd use Scala's XML parsing to parse the feed... skip the external library. You may also want to look at the ESME code http://incubator.apache.org/esme/ There's an RSS reader and a Twitter poller in there. The code is Apache 2.0 license, so you can use it without any license-related
