The following features are ready for test:

• Syntax highlighting
• Auto-indentation
• Brace completion
• Formatter
• Outline navigator
• Occurrences mark for local variables and function
• Instance rename for local variables and function
• Go-to-declaration for local variables and function
• Scala project
• Basic debugger

And with known issues:

• Auto-completion it not full supported yet and not smart
• There is no parsing errors recovering yet
• Semantic errors are not checked on editing, but will be noticed when you build project
• Due to the un-consistent of Scala's grammar reference document, there may be some syntax broken issues

BTW, Fortress editing plugin is also available on "Last Development Build" update center, see the installation part of http://wiki.netbeans.org/Scala to get it installed. It's a very alpha stage plugin.

And, Erlang plugins are also available from "Last Development Build" update center too, that is, you can install and use Erlang plugins with Ruby, Scala, JavaScript on the same NetBeans IDE (6.1 RC or nightly build). Thanks to Tor's work, the indexing performance has been improved a lot.

Erlang plugin will be rewritten in the near future too.
