when trying the new scala plugin with the NB6.8beta (but also with the nightly builds) I still get the message: "SCALA_HOME environment variable is not set, or is invalid. Please select a SCALA_HOME first!" (2 times) followed by a "Can not found ${SCALA_HOME}/bin/scala, the environment variable SCALA_HOME may be invalid. Please set proper SCALA_HOME first!" when trying to open the SCALA console window. (on the other way I can compile scala projects within Netbeans ...). The console works with NB6.7.1 and scala 2.7.3 ... I set the SCALA_HOME in .bashrc and opening a terminal and writing >echo $SCALA_HOME return the correct answer (same for the PATH). Also writing >scala in a terminal starts scala2.8.0 I also set the scala home in the netbeans.conf file.
I could figure out that the problem is probably a general problem of Netbeans on ubuntu or linux platforms: Netbeans is not always PATH-aware, depending on how this environment variables are set. Setting them in ~/.bhsrc makes them available to Netbeans only if : -1 the bash terminal is started -2 Netbeans is started from that console Using the menu shortcut doesn't allow Netbeans to read the environment variables set in ~/.bshrc, not even if the shortcut is set as "Application in terminal" (which actually starts up a terminal)! I could solve it setting the environment variables in ~/.profile instead of ~/.bshrc, which should set the login console. A small note on this in the wiki could be helpful for the linux newbies like me ... Cheers, Boris
Adding -J-Dscala.home=<yourscaladir> to the netbeans_default_options in netbeans-7.1.1/etc/netbeans.conf should do the trick as well.
