Re: Scala plugin status for netbeans 12.0 ?

[Randamuna Namae <io...@gmail.com>]

I keep a 2.13 version of the plugin, but I have progressively disabled
stuff that I don't use instead of maintain it (such is in-IDE SBT console
and auto loading of project. I also had to write my own SBT plugin to
generate the file in order to support things that the original didn't and
was too outdated to update (libs-wise)), it also cannot be compiled against
java > 8 because the api under com.sun.javadoc.Doc and the like have
changed places (or have been subsumed by something else)

Frankly, the plugin should just be re-written from scratch. The code is
written practically in 2.7 style plus using the scala presentation compiler
directly has become less and less reliable/advisable.
The scala community has been doing a great push towards LSP (language
server protocol) and BSP (build server protocol), integrating Metals to
NetBeans's current LSP support will yield much better results while still
being a low hanging fruit (compared to maintaining the current plugin).
Collaborating on improving NetBean's LSP support is also a great move
towards a good future for the IDE, since other languages like rust are also
going this route.

Cheers.

https://github.com/cbm64chris/nbscala So I'm sticking with IntelliJ for all
my heavy duty Scala programming for the time being. As much help as
IntelliJ gives for learning Scala, I just like the way NetBeans works with
Java a lot better and wish that was available for Scala.>
