I finally got far enough to figure out maven integration with eclipse, so then I ported a little TCP proxy server using Netty from Java to Scala. The result is here.
This program doesn't do anything too exciting but it forced me to learn a little Scala syntax, which I'm liking so far (type inference, pattern matching, constructors in the class definition line, lots more neat stuff I don't know yet). Now I just need to find a way to use Scala on projects at work.
