scala-plugin.g8

Giger8 template for Eclipse plugins developed in Scala.

This template produces 5 Eclipse plugins:

• the plugin itself
• the plugin.tests fragment
• an Eclipse feature
• an Eclipse source feature
• an Eclipse update-site

The projects can readily be imported inside Eclipse. Additionally, you have maven pom files based on Tycho, enabling command line builds.
