I did not. Some libraries I depend on did.

Yes. I'm researching how they do it. Previously it could be done with one command. Jetbrains use their own patched JVM and have JVM experts on their payroll. What they do goes way beyond my current skills.

From a JVM point of view, Scala is just one more library. The problem with Scala right now is that it doesn't support the module system. This means yet another dive at a lower level to try to fix any issue that appears.
