Probably essentially nobody is using eclipse with scala-ide for some years now, and it may not be maintained. The common tooling is either

  • Metals with VS-Code/Emacs/Vim/some other editor, or
  • IntelliJ Idea with the scala plugin.

Yeah, AFAIK I was one of the last people using the Eclipse plugin, and I gave up several years ago. I believe it’s entirely unmaintained for the time being.
