Cool. I've been writing Scala and Clojure wrappers for a larger Java project, and I ran into a minor hassle last week with Scala/Java integration and I read something that indicated that things would be easier with Scala 2.8. I am downloading the beta right now to see if there are any problems using it with InteliJ 9.

Trying 2.8 did break some of my code (as expected from reading the 2.8 beta docs)
Scala/Java integration will always be somewhat of a problem, that requires thought and effort to get right. Any default way of converting between classes will leave some people going "WTF?". Jorge Ortiz's scala-javautils[1] can be helpful. Googling for these utils will lead to some blogposts discussing the problems of fully automatic conversion.
