What would you want the IDE to do for you, while doing Scala development ? . Syntax highlight . Debugger . path to 'scalac' compiler . add libraries to CLASSPATH Usually to support a language in an IDE, one would need to install some kind of plugin. Please see this page (IDE and Editor plugins) http://www.scala-lang.org/node/91 Having mentioned the link, i'd suggest an alternative approach. For maximum flexibility/learning for an engineer . install JRE/JDK 1.6.x . write a small script file (.bat/.sh) to set the CLASSPATH . use editor like Notepad++ (windows) or vim or kwrite . compile/run from the command line thanks Saifi.
