Scala for Netbeans Beta Is Ready, Working with NetBeans 6.5 Beta
>>> Updated Aug 15:
For Windows Vista users:
There is a known bug #135547 that may have been fixed in trunk but not for NetBeans 6.5 Beta, which causes exception of "NullPointerException at org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil.normalizeFileOnWindows" when create Scala project. If you are Vista user and like to have a try on Scala plugins, you may need to download a recent nightly build version of NetBeans. Since I have none Vista environment, I'm not sure about above message.
