Definitely. Some support has been added for various
platform/frameworks (like ignoring of certain groovy-induced bogus
setters/getters). I have only used Scala a little bit at work (a
co-worker is big fan, wrote pile of unit tests in Scala), so I could
use some help in pointing out how to tell Scala lists (and Maps, maybe
general collections) from other objects.
So if you (or anyone else) can help, I would definitely want to add support.
