We just released the first Release Candidate of Scala IDE 4.4!

This release can be consumed both from the regular update sites, and as a standalone Eclipse distribution.

Highlights:

- Improved Refactoring Support
- Improved Debugger Stability

This release is mostly focused on improving the overall developer experience and as such fixes a lot of bugs instead of adding new features.

Read all the details in our release notes. This is a release candidate, so please try it out and let us know if you find problems. If no serious regressions or blockers are found, we will promote this release as a final release.

So far this has been a nice update!

Adding an import via selecting one from the quick fix no longer removes empty lines.
Rename refactoring seems ok so far.

Organize imports is much better, but I still have an issue if there is an alias in there.  In a file that has

import java.util.{SortedMap => JSMap }

Organize imports just drops the line entirely, making compilation break wherever JSMap is referenced.

Great progress! It's probably the first release with a focus on improving refactoring, and I want to congratulate the team (Simon, Wieslaw, Mathias, in no particular order) for pulling this off. Scala refactorings are notoriously hard to get right, and any step forward is a great win! I'm sure more will come!

cheers,
iulian

Let me second that! Great work and thanks a lot for keeping scala-refactoring
alive.

Cheers
