The Scala IDE for Eclipse - Retrospect and Prospect for 2.8
Miles Sabin

Seamless interoperability with Java code at the source and binary level is one of the critical factors enabling the widespread adoption of Scala. Similarly seamless interoperability at the tooling level is just as vital and is the goal of the Scala IDE for Eclipse.
This presentation reports on the challenges faced and experiences gained during the development of the IDE, in particular its integration with the Eclipse JDT and its support for mixed Scala/Java development. It also reports on and demonstrates the richer integration between the core compiler and tools offered by Scala 2.8 which is taken full advantage of in the latest iteration of the IDE.
