Why would a Scala Worksheet using Scala-IDE give this as an error?

Question

In a Scala worksheet I can do this:

object Play {

 println("Playing a bit")                         //> Playing a bit

 case class X(a: Int = 1, x: List[X]){
 }

}

but I can't do this:

object Play {

 case class X(a: Int = 1, x: List[X]){
 }

}

In the latter it will complain after the case class that ; was expected but import found

I'm guessing because Worksheet is very new and contains bugs... – Mandal

Thanks Luigi, you are probably right. – Tymon

Hi @LuigiPlinge, will you put your comment as answer please. This is not a problem with the latest nightly's so you are spot on. – Tymon

This seems to be a bug that is fixed in the latest nightly build of Scala IDE. See https://mcmap.net/q/2036848/-classes-in-worksheet-in-scala-ide-cause-error
