I am using NetBeans 8.2 to develop Scala application.

Some Scala plugins require: "The plugin External Execution Base API is requested in implementation version 201510222201".

Can I download that API anywhere?

  • There is a Bugzilla entry for this, that appears to have been ignored because it is reported against a 3rd Party Plugin. Bugzilla: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=258145. The manual page: [External Execution API](http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-netbeans-modules-extexecution/overview-summary.html) – will Oct 31 '17 at 12:19

One of the frequent pull request submitters has an 8.2 plugin set available for download.

    Seems to work with the latest Netbeans 8.2 -- At least I can say Hello world. https://github.com/akochnev/nbscala – will Nov 02 '17 at 11:36
  • Some further information -- I installed this plugin for Netbeans 8.2

    https://github.com/akochnev/nbscala
    However it can not recognise the Scala package installed by SDKMAN.     – will Nov 02 '17 at 12:51
  • +1 for this anwer. I went to akochnev's repo, downloaded the latest release at [https://github.com/akochnev/nbscala/releases/download/1.8.2.0/nbscala-plugins.zip], unzipped and found ```.nbm``` files that worked for Netbeans 8.2. Life of SCALA AWESOMENESS – ColinWa Oct 05 '18 at 12:47

I've just ran into the same problem. The solution is the following:

  1. Find out what version of the External Execution Base API you have in your Netbeans installation. In my case, it is noted in

..\NetBeans 8.2\ide\modules\org-netbeans-modules-extexecution-base.jar\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF

  1. Edit the dependency definitions of the related nbscala nbm files. In my case I had to update the following files

org-netbeans-modules-scala-sbt-1.8.1.0.nbm\Info\info.xml

org-netbeans-modules-scala-sbt-1.8.1.0.nbm\netbeans\modules\org-netbeans-modules-scala-sbt.jar\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF

org-netbeans-modules-scala-console-1.8.1.0.nbm\Info\info.xml

org-netbeans-modules-scala-console-1.8.1.0.nbm\netbeans\modules\org-netbeans-modules-scala-console.jar\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF

  1. Delete the nbm signatures, since the changes made it invalid

org-netbeans-modules-scala-console-1.8.1.0.nbm\META-INF\NBSCALA.*

org-netbeans-modules-scala-sbt-1.8.1.0.nbm\META-INF\NBSCALA.*

  1. Install the modules and hope there won't be any issue encountered by this hack.

  • Could you please point out exactly what the dependency definition for External Execution Base API looks like? And how to add it? – Eugenia Ozirna Mar 22 '17 at 09:42
  • Could you please provide an example? – Eugenia Ozirna Mar 22 '17 at 09:49
  • I've already resolved the issue. Thanks, anyway for the above explanation. – Eugenia Ozirna Mar 22 '17 at 10:16
  • Very nice hack, I can confirm that it works. Hopefully a new version of the plugin will be released soon. – mdewit Mar 23 '17 at 12:32

    Seems like I spoke too soon. The plugin installs and I am able to create a new hello world project, but atleast on my editor it is impossible to edit the newly created scala file. The file can be edited externally with a text editor and will then be updated in the netbeans editor, but cannot be edited in the netbeans editor itself (keystrokes are ignored in the editor window). – mdewit Mar 23 '17 at 14:35
  • @mdewit I've experienced exactly the same problem. I hope there is some other solution. – Eugenia Ozirna Mar 23 '17 at 15:35
