I talked to Jetbrains about this, and they told me that they stopped working on the Scala plugin for the time being, because
- demand for Groovy/Ruby was higher
- the language was moving too fast
- Scala is a terribly difficult language for compiler/tool writers, and the only good way to analyze Scala programs might be through the official compiler, which didn't yet support this
Hopefully the work will be continued at some point...
Cheers,
Peter
There is a plugin available for IntelliJ:
http://plugins.intellij.net/plugin/?id=1347
It seems a bit dated (the page says it doesn't support version 2.6 language features, which I assume means it was written for version 2.5 and not 2.7) but on IDEA 7.0.3 it actually opened up a project. It doesn't support Ctrl-Space completion to my knowledge.
I think it's not under very active development -- the Ruby and Groovy languages have been getting the most attention (probably because of their big growth in adoption). I hope Scala gets this same kind of boom and support; I'd love to have IntelliJ's Java refactoring support in Scala.
