Adding a new Scala platform?

[Gordon]

I've reported this through the NetBeans exception reporter (http://
statistics.netbeans.org/analytics/detail.do?id=48973) but I was
wondering if Caoyuan could maybe comment? The issue is that it's
impossible to add extra Scala platforms (e.g. the new 2.7.5final or a
2.8.0 preview) because of an error that occurs when stepping through
the wizard.

There is issue on Scala platform management, please use SCALA_HOME
environment variable instead, until I fix it.

Okay, I've set SCALA_HOME. I'm using NetBeans 6.71 RC1 with nb-scala
for NB 6.7 and Scala 2.8.0 preview. I created a simple test object
like this:

import scala.collection.immutable.Map

object Test {

val stuff = Map("blah" -> "foo")

def main(args:Array[String]) = {
println(stuff)
}

}

The Navigator pane shows:

- Test
- main : (<error>)<error>
- stuff : <error>

Mousing over the stuff field with Ctrl held down shows the info
tooltip with: private val stuff: <error>.

Is it just not compatible with Scala 2.8.0?

This plugin use Scala's native compiler, which, in this version, is
compatible with Scala 2.7.x. For 2.8.0, I'm waiting for the first
preview version of Scala 2.8.0.

I'm not sure I understand. If the NB plugin doesn't use the Scala
compiler from the SCALA_HOME I set, what compiler does it use?

There are two ways of Scala compiler used. One is used to parse source
file that is opened in NetBeans' editor window, this one is a patched
Scala compiler of the bundling Scala runtime. The other one is used to
build/run/debug the scala project, which is the Scala compiler set by
SCALA_HOME.
