Hi,

I don't know of anyone working with Scala yet.

You're best bet with starting on CEDET support is to make sure there
is a regular Emacs major-mode.  Check emacswiki.org.

If you have a ctags configuration, you can probably get basic support
up in about 10 minutes.  Start with the CVS version of CEDET though,
as the ctags parser pieces was recently refactored since the last
distribution was made.  

Writing a parser using wisent in cedet/semantic will give you the best
possible support for CEDET.  Starting with a EBNF is a good way to
start.  Such expressions have been converted to wisent parsers by
several different people.

I'm not sure what the last question is about.  If you mean selecting
between things like tempo or skeleton modes, then naturally I
recommend srecode (in CEDET.)

Eric

Check emacswiki.org. there is already a major mode (provide with scala) and some code ove the web about using scala+flymake, scala+maven+emacs > > > If you have a ctags configuration, you can probably get basic support > up in about 10 minutes.

Sorry my last point is about template for adding a lang support to semantic. should I start from java support (in bovine) or from skeleton ? Thanks /davidB > > > Eric >

I'm not sure what scala looks like, but if it is java like, then you should start with cedet/semantic/wisent/wisent-java-tags.wy. There is a big manual about using wisent in the semantic documentation in cedet/semantic/doc. Since wisent is a port of bison, the bison manual is a start for understanding what it is that wisent is doing. >> I'm not sure what the last question is about.

There are also SRecode macros for wisent, so srecode mode can fill in a new empty .wy buffer to get you started. Starting from something like the java parser could work. I find that it can be confusing to start that way unless scala is so-much like java that it might almost work as is. I tend to program iteratively, starting with a tiny test file, and getting that to work. Then add small pieces one at a time. Good Luck Eric -- Eric Ludlam: eric@...

Scala is richer than Java (closure, pattern matching, "struct",...) but it's a good place to start. I'll try to tun cedet over a java project to see the feature. I'm new to emacs and Co so I'll need time to progress, Sorry for my future stupid questions. /davidB > > Good Luck > Eric > > -- > Eric Ludlam: eric@... > Siege: http://www.siege-engine.com Emacs: http://cedet.sourceforge.net >
