Hello guys,

I would like to know how the development of the next release is going, as the first milestone was expected for mid-Marsh, but none of the bug mark for it are even the "in progress" state.

The underlying question being: I use Helios + Java 7 for several months now, and experience some litlle known problems (import/refactoring), and so I would like to know when I could try to switch to Scala IDE 2.1, given that when I see the proposed tickets for Scala 2.1-M1, some seems quite impactant, and so using the nightly seems unwise for now.

Thanks !

We've been pretty busy with keeping up with Scala trunk (upcoming 2.10 release), so that we'll have an IDE on the day 2.10 is out. We should update in progress tickets, you are right.

You should try it, we try to keep 'master' as stable as possible.

What issues do you have? We plan a bugfix release (2.0.1) really soon, with a few important fixes from master.

OK, I'm on it from now :)

The two main issue I suffer from are:

1/ Apocaliptic type auto-complete

When auto-completing a type not already in import list, sometime the restuling refactored file is *completly* broken (most of the line partially deleted, nothing even syntaxically valide, etc). Bug already mentionned in thread "Organize imports corrupts code", refering to bug 1000802. And now that I'm 2.1.0-nightly, it seems to work great !

2/ Eclipse stop listening to shortcut

Sometimes (seems to be quite often), all Eclipse keyboard shortcup stop working and I can't even save the file from the "File" menu. But "delete log" from the "error log" window or closing the edit tab with the file, saying "yes I want to save the modification" restore normal behaviour.

It's a little as if there was a focus problem and Eclipse think it does not it, and that some special menu action make it see the reallity. That's not so simple, because I can continu to edit the file, crtl-click to navigate, use the mouse, etc.

That one is anoying, even if easely workaroundable, and it seems to be still their in 2.1.0.

I thought I already saw it reported, or discussed it in that mailinglist, but I'm unable to find it right now.

Thanks,
