The mailing list for developers is:

• http://groups.google.com/group/scala-ide-dev 

NB: Previously, the scala-tools mailing list was used for discussions, and an archive is available.

Bugs can be reported on the Tickets Page. You can report the bug as an 'anonymous' user or you can register and log in. Please include the version of the Scala IDE you're reporting the bug against, and also any other details of your platform and environment which might be relevant. If possible please try and provide a small Scala file or a minimal exported project which illustrates the bug with your report.

Finding the Scala IDE Version

In Eclipse:

1. Select Help → Software Updates → Manage Configuration
2. Locate and select the entry for "Scala Eclipse Plugin" in the tree in the left hand panel of the Product Configuration dialog.

The version number is the text which follows "Scala Eclipse Plugin" and should be of the form x.x.x.rxxxxx-bxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. eg. 2.7.1.x15067-b20080519123132.

Exporting a Project

In Eclipse:

1. Select the topmost project folder in the either the Package Explorer or Navigator view.
2. Select General → Archive File in the Export dialog.
3. Enter an archive file name.
4. Ensure that the options selected are: Save in zip format; Compress the contents of the file; and Create directory structure for files.
5. Click Finish.

Please use your judgment when posting an exported project. If it's more than 10kbytes or so it would be worth seeing if you can minimize the project some more. If you can't then, rather than attaching an outsized zip file to the Ticket report, please ask for advice on how best to send the example to the people who will be looking at the bug.
