I'll chime in as yet another user who is extremely happy with sbt and a text editor. (In my experience, running "ack" from the command line is usually just as easy and fast as using an IDE's find-in-project facility.) You can, of course, extend editors with Scala-specific IDE-like functionality (in particular, I am aware of -- but have not used -- ENSIME for emacs or TextMate).
Since you're new to Scala, you may not know that you can run any sbt command preceded by a tilde, which will watch files in your project and run the command when anything changes. Therefore, running "~compile" from the sbt repl will get you most of the continuous syntax-checking functionality you can get from an IDE. best, wb ----- Original Message ----- > From: "ll" <duy.huynh....@gmail.com> > To: d...@spark.incubator.apache.org > Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2014 10:07:20 AM > Subject: best IDE for scala + spark development? > > i'm new to both scala and spark. what IDE / dev environment do you find most > productive for writing code in scala with spark? is it just vim + sbt? or > does a full IDE like intellij works out better? thanks! > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/best-IDE-for-scala-spark-development-tp8965.html > Sent from the Apache Spark Developers List mailing list archive at > Nabble.com. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@spark.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@spark.apache.org
