For Developers

Scala Version

OStore currently uses Scala 2.9.1.

Development Guidelines

• Use Scala formatter with default settings for all code.

• Before checkin

  • all code (core and ui) must compile

  • all unit tests must pass. In core run

      sbt 
      test-only com.persist.unit.*
    

• Things to (mostly) avoid

  • var
  • return
  • waits
  • Java libraries (where there is a good scala alternative)
  • semicolons (unless required)
  • null (use Option)
  • any concurrent access to mutable data

• Things to use

  • actors
  • immutable collection types
