I always think that Scala lacks a good, deep IDE, but this is a handy list. Thanks.

- frio 16y agoIt might be worth trying the ScalaIDE Eclipse plugin - I think it works with Helios now. That said, I had so many issues using it half a year ago I went and learnt to use emacs with scala-mode, which, combined with sbt ~test, has worked out brilliantly. The only thing I'd really appreciate an IDE for is mass refactoring (my project is at a point now where it's all a bit badly organised).
- krisneuharth 16y agoMy similar bad experience with Eclipse took me to IntelliJ with the Scala plugin and it has been a markedly better experience these last few months. The refactoring abilities in IntelliJ are pretty good so far.

- Stormbringer 16y agoSome people, when confronted with a coding problem, think "I know, I'll use an Eclipse plugin". Now they have three problems.
- andrew1 16y agoIntelliJ's IDEA IDE has excellent Scala integration in the Community Edition (i.e. the free version). I've been working with Scala for about two years now and in my experience IDEA has always been ahead of Eclipse for Scala development. That being said I prefer IDEA for writing Java code too so this may just be personal preference.
