Hi,
I'm wondering what the plan is for the ecosystem on Juno, coming soon?

Thanks,

Channing

A partial answer, you should be able to use the nightly of the worksheet plugin with Juno:


Best,

Eventually. But our first goal is to get a single binary that's working with both Juno and Indigo. If that's really impossible, we'll bite the bullet.

In the meantime, Ismael is correct suggesting that it's *only* the Scala IDE that is platform dependent. So in principle the usual ecosystem should work on Juno as well. The latest released versions though are too restrictive, so you'd need to point it towards the nightly ecosystem.

Great thanks, I'll give it a whirl.

Is this an issue with Juno (from 3 to 4) in particular, or a challenge posed by every annual Eclipse release?

It's an issue with every annual release, since we are using some internal API in order to trigger the JDT compiler from the Scala builder (in order to have exactly the same options as set up by the user in Eclipse preferences). Transitions for 3.5 to 3.6 and 3.7 were much simpler, but Juno is exceptionally challenging (as long as we want to keep one binary version for both platforms).
