![]() ![]() A big part of the contributors are using Mac OS X, for which there is currently no release version of Java 7. It is a simple problem of resources and priorities. The documentation will continue for the time being to discourage users to run Scala IDE on Java 7, at least until the problems occurring when running Eclipse on Java 7 have been clearly identified.Įclipse support aside, there is no effort planned to solve potential problems specific to Scala IDE when running it on Java 7. The second way the question can be understood is “When will Java 7 be on the recommended list of VMs?”. At least one ticket specific to Java 7 has but opened against Scala IDE ( #1000820). The changes in the Java Standard Library in version 7 might require changes in the user’s Scala code, which then make it incompatible with Java 6 or earlier ( forum post). Eclipse 3.6.2 does not provide support for the new language features from Java 7, and some obscure problem are still being reported against Eclipse 3.7.1 ( #364735). That said, it might not be without problems. And from the information provided in tickets, some users do use Java 7. So there is nothing stopping someone to use Java 7 for its whole setup. ![]() Scala 2.9.1 is compiled for Java 5 and can be run on Java 7. And the answer is: right now.Įclipse 3.6.2 is able to run Java 7, and the full support is part of version 3.7.1. The first one is “When can I start to use Java 7 with Scala IDE?”. The question can be understood in two ways. This is likely to be a recurring question, so let me take some time to describe the current state. Can't find a given dependency? Try here or here.One of the comment from the roadmap post was asking “When is Java 7 support planned?”. If that doesn't work, start over, but add more update sites.If it does not work, you will have to manually select dependencies.Expand the Callisto Updates site to resolve dependencies.Select the projects &/or components you want to install.Otherwise, download an Eclipse SDK or Runtime Binary, then unpack it and start it up.Install a JDK or JRE - minimum required level is 1.4.2.Click the Select Required button to resolve missing dependencies.Select the feature(s) you want to install.Expand the Europa Discovery site to resolve dependencies. ![]() Help > Software Updates > Find and Install. To add other plugins, here's the general process.
