So I have had Scala on IntelliJ on that machine from the get-go. The Scala plugin is the very first, it’s free, and it’s already installed on the computer on which this screenshot was taken.Īs a matter of fact, when I installed IntelliJ on my MacBook a few months ago, Scala for IntelliJ was a featured plugin at install time. But if it’s not, you can search for it.Ī selection of featured plugins on the IntelliJ Marketplace.
Maybe the Scala for IntelliJ plugin will be the very first of the featured plugins. On IntelliJ running under Mac OS X, go to the IntelliJ Idea menu and choose Preferences… On IntelliJ running under Windows, if I recall correctly, it’s Edit > Preferences… On the Windows laptop, I had already been compiling some simple Scala programs on the command line before getting the IntelliJ plugin.
#SCALA PLAIN TEXT EDITOR MAC OS X#
I have set up Scala for IntelliJ on both a Windows 10 laptop and a Mac OS X laptop. Download and install the plugin and it’ll all be taken care of. It doesn’t actually matter if your computer already has or doesn’t have the Scala binaries or the Simple Build Tool (now known as “sbt”). You certainly can, but the setup is much easier for IntelliJ than for NetBeans or Eclipse. You can certainly write Scala programs in a plain text editor like Vim and then compile and test them on the command line.īut if you already have a Java integrated development environment (IDE) like IntelliJ or NetBeans, and since Scala compiles to bytecode for the Java Virtual Machine, wouldn’t it make more sense to use an IDE for Scala programming?
