I've been using Eclipse since 2.x and IDEs in general for over 20 years (since Turbo Pascal and Turbo C in the late '80s!).
(that preamble is supposed to imply, "I'm not an idiot" ... but doesn't sound so smart as I read it... LOL :-] )
Now I'm trying to use the Scala debugger in IntelliJ 9.0.1. I've resigned myself to an old standby, the "hello world" trick to check if the environment is setup correctly:
class hello { def main(a: Array[String]) = println("got args: " + a) }
I also tried this version, just in case:
object hello extends Application { println("hi") }
Alas, I'm unable to get even this simple Scala example to run. I'd like to eventually put a breakpoint in it, but for now just running it would be great. I have Java 1.6u20 and the Scala plug-in 0.3.473 (January 2010). The error below summarizes my experience:
What possibly could I be doing wrong?
Thanks
