Summary: The above-mentioned steps to add Scala plugin in Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or Spring Tool Suite in Ubuntu 16.04 for developers. Basically Scala is used for Functional programming language including the OOPS concept also. But here is less coding style with higher-order functions for developing code. For Spark need either Java or Scala in one environment we use this type setup. I think the Spring Tool Suite is the best choice because it is very fast and easier compared to Eclipse IDE.
Otherwise, download the Scala IDE from Scala official website for Ubuntu and then install it like Eclipse IDE. If you didn’t work for the above steps then uninstall Eclipse then again install it.
