Hi Juri, Yes, adding:
require 'buildr/scala' to the top of your Buildfile is the right way to go. This was a recent change. The documentation hasn't been updated on the website yet; It's updated in SVN though. For now, I would also advise using the Buildr trunk code since there's been quite a few little fixes in 1.3.3 and the trunk should work better out of the box with the latest Scala 2.7.3. alex On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 3:53 AM, Juri Pakaste <j...@iki.fi> wrote: > I had a lot of trouble getting buildr to compile Scala code successfully. > It seems to work now, or at least I'm getting .class files, but I was > wondering if someone could point out if I'm doing something wrong or if I > just misunderstood the documentation; it's been a year since the last time I > used buildr and I've never used it to compile anything but Java, so a brain > fart seems entirely plausible. > > Basically I couldn't get buildr to automatically recognize a scala project. > My project is called jones and I have a sub-project called jones-gui.
