NullPointerException in ScalacBackendCompiler$1.processMessageLine(ScalacBackendCompiler.java:205)

Hello Dean,

The latest version of the Scala plugin is only compatible with the latest
Maia EAP build, which you can download from:
http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Maia+EAP
Please use this IDEA build instead of the old M1 build.

I am using IDEA 9.0M1 Build 10372

I downloaded and manually installed the Scala plug-in version
0.2.27038.

I am running under Mac OS/X 10.5.8.

I am trying to add a small amount of Scala code to a large Java
project. So far, I am just trying to compile the following Scala
object:

package com.mspoke.iris.tools

/**

• Analyzes a specified set of (currently just one) feed(s) to

determine that feed's hot topics.
*

• @author Dean Thompson

*/
object HotTopicsInFeeds
{
def main(args: Array[String]) {
println("Hello World")
}
}
I have tried many combinations of adding the Scala facet to a Java
module, creating a new module to hold the Scala facet, creating a new
module but also adding the Scala facet to the java module, etc.
Whenever I try to compile, the output in the IDEA UI just shows a
compiler error saying simply "Error:", with no message.

Through the Mac's built-in console application, I am able to see the
following output:

With sadness, I will have to give up on Scala again until someone can
help me past this.

Dean
