How to build Scala plugin for IntelliJ IDEA from scratch

I've just tried it on Mac. The jdk.home as above points to Java 1.5, although 1.6 is available alongside – does it make a difference here?

Now trying to compile, I get 2815 errors! Starting with,

[scalac] /s/w/scala/idea/src/org/jetbrains/plugins/scala/annotator/ScalaAnnotator.scala:6: error: not found: value highlighter
[scalac] import highlighter.{AnnotatorHighlighter}
[scalac] ^

– that's using scala-2.8.0.r18418-b20090731020235:

scala.lib=/s/build/scala/scala-2.8.0.r18418-b20090731020235/lib

– by the way, the above doesn't show scala.lib pointing to a .../li

Is SVN broken against Maia-10597.app?

Hi!

 I've tried to compile plugin on Windows using scala-2.8 (build 19360), IDEA Community Edition 90.137 and JDK 1.6.0_16.

I get following error:

BUILD FAILED
C:\scala-plugin\build.xml:177: Compilation failed because of an internal compiler error; see the error output for details.

What can I do to get rid of this and to build plugin? Any help will be gladly appreciated.

I get the following error when trying to build te plugin (Maia-IC-90.154, Scala 2.8.0.r19413-b20091106100043, Java 1.6.0_15, OSX/Snowleopard).

Uggh... sorry for that. Seems Chrome isn't the best browser to post comments here

I get the following error when trying to build te plugin (Maia-IC-90.154, Scala 2.8.0.r19413-b20091106100043, Java 1.6.0_15, OSX/Snowleopard).

I managed to fix the above by altering 'ScalaInlineHandler#removeDefinition' to reflect the new interface:

I'm getting this error while building the latest (dc2142e5d2878a5c8160823d124a48320c4fe6f2) on OS X:

My scala.properties looks like this:

I'm using java "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-10M3261)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)

The problem seems to be in scalac ant task (for scala 2.7) and it doesn't seems to accept jvmargs attribute (which scalac 2.8 does):

If I comment-out the 2.7 build section the the build get further but then fail as follows:

Any ideas ?
