Is it possible to write and compile Scala code in netbeans6.9.1? I am a beginner to Scala programming, and am very much confused about this.
I've never actually tried to write Scala in Netbeans personally but according to Dick Wall the support for Scala in Netbeans is pretty much the best of breed among the main 3 IDEs (IntelliJ, Eclipse, and Netbeans). I know that's just anecdotal but it's from a pretty trusted source who literally inserted a whole new section into his Java Posse podcast just so he can geek out over Scala.
This looks like a fantastic place to get you started. http://wiki.netbeans.org/Scala
