Best Way to Integrate Scala Test into Existing Netbeans Java Project?

Question

I have a stand-alone application that I wrote before I became test-infected. Its a Netbeans gui project, so I depend upon Matisse, and I don't want to change that, at least not now.

I would, however, like to build the unit test coverage up, and I'd like to take this opportunity to learn some Scala.

So what I would like to do is create tests in scala. I understand that this is possible because Scala Test has a junit runner. I think I could hack on the ant and eventually make it work, but I think that would be sort of a "pound until it fits" scenario. I have searched Stack Overflow, and there are similar questions, but not quite the same topic.

Has anybody done this before? If so, please let me know how. Thanks!

My experience is with Maven Java projects in NetBeans and the Specs testing framework, so I don't know if this will be helpful or of interest to you. But I hope it can serve as a starting point to solving your specific problem.

In any event, here's a detailed blog post I did on setting up Specs in Maven to test Java web services: http://janxspirit.blogspot.com/2011/01/sneaking-scala-through-alley-test-java.html

Good luck!
