Create a file called HelloWorld.scala using your favorite text editor. It should contain this:

object HelloWorld {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    println("Hello, world!")
  }
}

scalac will compile this for you, and scala will run it.

root@mypod:~# scalac HelloWorld.scala 
root@mypod:~# scala HelloWorld 

Increase Java and Eclipse Heap memory

In Eclipse open eclipse.ini and edit as "-vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx 1024m"

To check existing JVM memory : "java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | findstr /i"HeapSize PermSize ThreadStackSize" works only on windows


if you have 32 bit java, you can't extend your physical memory to more than 4 GB.

You can run 32 bit JVM as 64 bit y using "-d64"

Eg; java -d64 -Xms1024m -Xmx4096m yourjavapgm
