Build Scala projects with Eclipse Buckminster

In one of my previous posts I talked about how to build Scala projects with PDE Build. However, PDE Build is rather old and has long been superseded by Buckminster. The great advantage of Buckminster is that it is actually a lightweight Eclipse SDK with all that you need to build an RCP application: a workspace of projects, a target platform, and so on. To build Scala projects in Eclipse you will most likely install the Scala IDE. Unfortunately, this plug-in cannot be installed in Buckminster right away. But there is a workaround...

As can be read there, even Martin Odersky, the inventor of Scala, likes that idea and thinks about publishing the document on the official Scala website.
