There are the following Scala tools available in INF1 (administration):

- Eclipse 3.4 with the plugin Scala 2.7.x
- jEdit 4.2 with Scala mode

Scala Plugin
For this course, we recommend you use the
Eclipse
IDE.
Eclipse is already installed on INF1 computers, and has the Scala 2.7.2 RC2. You can find it in
/home/iclamp/soft/share/eclipse
If you prefer working on your laptop, you should download Eclipse >= 3.4 and install the Scala plugin using the the following update site:
Unix
If you want to use Scala tools in a Unix console, you need to define the following environment variables:
Name | Value |
---|---|
SCALA_HOME |
/home/iclamp/soft/share/scala |
PATH |
$SCALA_HOME/bin:$PATH |
The easiest way to do this is to add this variables in your configuration file of your shell:
Shell | Configuration file |
Environment variables |
---|---|---|
bash ksh
|
~/.bashrc ~/.kshrc
|
export SCALA_HOME=/home/iclamp/soft/share/scala export PATH=$SCALA_HOME/bin:$PATH
|
tcsh |
~/.cshrc |
setenv SCALA_HOME /home/iclamp/soft/share/scala setenv PATH $SCALA_HOME/bin:$PATH
|
Windows
For using the Scala tools in a Windows command prompt, you need to change the user environment variables by defining the following variables:
Name | Valuer |
---|---|
SCALA_HOME |
C:\Progra~1\Scala (1) |
PATH |
%SCALA_HOME%\bin;%PATH% |
(1)Default installation directory for Scala in Windows.
You need to go in the "Start" menu -> "Control Panel" -> "System" -> "Advanced" -> "Environment variables". In the "User variables of ...", section, you add a new variable ("New" button).
