go through examples, find those which don't work with Scala 2.11

I bet there are a few. It'd be good to know what they are. And to file issues for them. (or if it's easier to just fix a broken example than to file an issue for it, then fix it)

Hi @lahosken,

Yes, this is going to be a big effort—e.g. scala-bootstrapper is 2.9 only, standard-project is even further behind, the entire specs section is obsolete, etc.

I'm not sure it makes sense to try to fix these issues until we've done some rearrangement and pruning. The Searchbird tutorial will probably move to the new Finagle organization, for example, the specs chapter will be cut (and its ScalaTest replacement may end up in Effective Scala or somewhere else), etc.

If we can make a list of lessons we consider stable, though, I could take an hour or two to do a 2.10 (and 2.11) run-through and clean-up.

Cool beans. No need to hurry on my account. I'm just hazily remembering some past issues where my "resolution" was something like "Run an older Scala."

Has someone updated it?

@gadLinux no it's still on scala 2.9, but we are in the process of migrating it to scala 2.11.

I've made some changes over one that I found on github. It's fully maven supported. https://github.com/gadLinux/searchbird-2-0
Instructions are for SBT but It work in maven better because I did the port. Maybe can be usefull
