Hi everybody,
Scala version 2.6.1-RC2 provide sbaz packages for the Android,
J2ME/CDLC and MSIL target platforms.
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/targets/
NB. As a reminder release candidate versions of the Scala software
are made available from the "lamp-rc" universe. More information
can be found on the page
http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/sbaz.html
Let's now try the example "NotePad" adapted (Scala sources) from
the Android distribution (works both on Unix and Windows):
sbaz> bin/sbaz showuniverse
SimpleUniverse "lamp-rc" (http://scala-webapps.epfl.ch/sbaz/lamp-rc)
sbaz> bin/sbaz install scala-android
planning to install: scala-android/2.6.1-RC2
