Good question.
First, I actually created a libs.scala, but did not check in.
Second, the Scala for NetBeans of course can be written in Scala, but
not now. One reason is that I'm also writing Erlang/Fortress for
NetBeans, and all of them are based on GSF, that is, I'd like to get
more work done in Java first, so we can gain more cases for other
languages supporting on NetBeans.
Third point, someday if all things go smoothly, and, Scala has been
proved to be a practice language for all these kind of things, I may
re-write all above modules in Scala.
