Is it possible to work with scalaz in eclipse?

Question

• Create a new scala project
• add library reference to scalaz
• create a new package
• create a scala file in the package
• set encoding to UTF-8
• paste the content of the bifunctor example
• adjust the package in the file

It works in intellij. With eclipse i get 8 errors like this:

';' expected but something found

in the lines containing assert_≟ .

I'm using Eclipse Helios with Scala IDE for Eclipse 1.0.0.201011110258.

Answer 1

• Are you using the correct character set (e.g. UTF8) for you source files?
• Are the Eclipse "errors" from the IDE itself, or from a compilation run (an invocation of scalac?
• Can you scalac compile the source file manually?

Assuming it is not a fie encoding problem and that you can manually compile the file, I might conclude that, as scalaz uses complex type inference, Eclipse might be reporting erroneous errors.
