  • Code completion
  • Source navigation
  • Incremental completion
  • Debugger
  • Refactoring

My current development environment are as follows.

  • Mac OS X 10.9.2
  • Java 1.8.0_05

 

Download Eclipse 4.2 Juno

eclipse.org I decided to use Scala IDE, because IntelliJ IDEA‘s price is little high for me. Scala IDE v3.0 is free. It run on both Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) and Eclipse 4.2 (Juno) as a plugin. First, I have to install Eclipse to my MacBook Air. You and I can download it from Eclipse Packages Site.

 

Launch Eclipse and install Scala IDE

Screen Shot 2014-04-21 at 8.31.00 AM Launch Eclipse, click “Help” from the Eclipse’s menu bar, and select “Install New Software…”. I installed Scala 2.10.4 on my MacBook Air, so the plugin’s download site is here: http://download.scala-ide.org/sdk/helium/e38/scala210/stable/site Screen Shot 2014-04-21 at 8.46.06 AMCheck “Scala IDE for Eclipse”, and check “Scala IDE pulugins”, if you’d like to use ScalaTest for Scala IDE, Play2 support in Scala IDE, and more. Then, go through the next screens to validate the list of plug-ins to install, the License and start the installation. Screen Shot 2014-04-21 at 8.49.58 AM Eclipse is re-launched automatically when the plugin was installed successfully.

 

I guess

Eclipse needs to install some plugins when I try to develop softwares. I’ll get tired after do it.
