The Scala Team has released a new version of the Scala Eclipse Plugin. The Scala Plugin extends the Eclipse platform with a new Scala perspective providing tools to generate Scala code, syntax highlighting and integration of the Scala tools.

The Scala Plugin requires version 2.1 or newer of the Scala distribution, version 1.5 or newer of the Java Runtime Environment, and version 3.2 or newer of Eclipse. The Scala Plugin is best installed or updated directly from the Eclipse platform.
