Good write-up, Daan.
If you were looking to add Spring and Hibernate to what you’ve already got here with Scala and Maven, I’ve written a blog about how to do that (along with some of the problems you might encounter) here:

Cheers,

Thanks for your article.
You can create Scala project with Eclipse Maven PlugIn, too.
Plz, check my article, thanks again.

Great article Daan! Just thought I’d mention that if you wanted a project that supported inter-dependencies between Java + Scala, you need to bind the compile and testCompile goals to some phase *before* the java compile and testCompile goals are executed.

Thanks! This archetype is really useful for people who have no existing Java Maven projects.

Very helpful article.

There’s already a Maven 2 archetype available; from the command-line, use
mvn archetype:generate

then choose
internal -> scala-archetype-simple (A simple scala project)

I ran this today; the current version of the archetype still points to Scala 2.7.0 (2.7.2 is the latest release), but otherwise it creates a simple sample project and POM to get started with.

I’d recommend thinking about additional useful archetypes which you could submit to the Scala team, for example, a Scala GUI project.

Patrick
